ABSTRACT:
A solvent refining unit treats medium sour charge oil with a furfural solvent in a refining tower to yield raffinate and extract mix. The furfural is recovered from the raffinate and from the extract mix and returned to the refining tower. A system controlling the refining unit includes a gravity analyzer, a flash point temperature analyzer, a sulfur analyzer, a refractometer and viscosity analyzers; all analyzing the medium sour charge oil and providing corresponding signals, sensors sense the flow rates of the charge oil and the furfural flowing into the refining tower and the temperature of the extract mix and provide corresponding signals. One of the flow rates of the medium sour charge oil and the furfural flow rates is controlled in accordance with the signals from all the analyzers, the refractometer and all the sensors, while the other flow rate of the medium sour charge oil and the furfural flow rates is constant.
