Optimization of Profit

a) Business Case Management & Operations

CivTek conducts an upfront Business Case Analysis (BCA) to define operational parameters and continuity planning, including seismic and tsunami criteria. The BCA evaluates:

  • Best Management Practices (BMPs) for financial management
  • Regional & global market outlook
  • Downstream logistics and product differentials
  • Trade, transport, and profitability analysis
  • Financial controls and future investment opportunities
  • Triple Bottom Line (TBL) alignment with environmental/social objectives

Refinery managers must dynamically adapt to seasonal shifts in product demand (e.g. heating oil in winter, gasoline in summer). Refinery complexity determines how effectively high-value products like jet fuel and diesel are extracted through technologies such as:

  • Crude & vacuum distillation
  • Catalytic reforming/cracking
  • Alkylation & isomerization
  • Hydro-treating

b) Continuous Operational Support

CivTek employs Linear Programming (LP) and Refinery Support Services (RSS) to enhance operational efficiency and financial performance. Through our “Glass Cockpit” Command Center, telemetry data is transmitted globally for expert review and performance enhancement. Staff training and supervision is also included.

c) Efficient Facilities Data Management

Using GIS and AM/FM workflows, CivTek manages parts, condition reports, and replacement schedules to optimize facility uptime and ensure proper parts inventory.

Linear Programming (LP): Economic Optimization

Linear Programming is a technique for maximizing profitability across complex refinery systems. CivTek integrates LP with BCA, GIS, and AM/FM for full-facility optimization. Benefits include:

  • Crude oil selection and evaluation
  • Operations planning (short- and long-term)
  • Capital investment strategy
  • Joint venture modeling and merger evaluation
  • Contract performance review and technology assessment
  • Supply chain and refinery-wide performance optimization
