Abstract
This paper discusses a four-step procedure developed with support from the U.S. Department of Energy for preparing energy profiles for a refinery, for a single unit, or for an individual piece of equipment. The four steps are preparation, data gathering, performing calculations and preparing the profiles. Refinery energy profile diagrams developed for Gulf's Alliance Refinery are presented as examples, and applications discussed.
