The marginality of processing straight-run fractions of a modern oil refinery

The dynamics of prices since 2017 according to the data of Saint Petersburg International Merchantile Exchange (SPIMEX) for mass fuels produced by modern refineries is considered The dynamics of changes in excise taxes on fuels since 2017 is considered. Gasolines, summer inter-season, winter and arctic diesel fuels, jet fuels production features are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the total sulfur content in gasolines and diesel fuels must comply with the Euro 5 level, that is, no more than 10 ppm. The content of total sulfur in jet fuel TS-1 significantly higher - no more than 0.2%, therefore, methods of its treatment cost less. The yields of various fuels during treatment and bringing straight-run fractions to the requirements of GOST are given. It is demonstrated that jet fuel has the highest yield during treatment. The net cost of marketable fuels obtained from 1 ton of straight-run components has been determined, excluding excise taxes. It is demonstrated that the highest-marginal product is jet fuel. The volume of jet fuel production by the leading oil refineries of the Russian Federation is given.
