Question 70 1. A refinery has available two crude oils that have the yields shown in the following table. Because of equipment and storage limitations, production of gasoline, kerosene, and fuel oil must be limited as also shown in the table. Volume % yield Maximum allowable production rate (bbl/day) Crude #1 Crude #2 Gasoline 31 6000 Kerosene 6 9 2400 Fuel oil 24 12000 There are no plant limitations on the production of other products such as gas oils. a. The profit on processing crude #1 is $1.00 bbl and on crude #2 it is $0.70/bbl. b. Find the approximate optimum daily feed rates of the two crudes to this plant via a graphical method. 60
