Abstract

A solvent refining unit is controlled so that it has a maximum allowable solvent flow rate or a maximum allowable extract oil flow rate. The temperature of the extract-mix in the refining tower, the flow rate of the charge oil, the flow rate of the solvent and the flow rate of the extract oil are sensed by sensors which provide corresponding signals. A circuit provides signals corresponding to desired flow rates for the charge oil and the solvent and for a desired temperature for the extract-mix in the refining tower. The refining unit is operated in accordance with the desired signals so as to achieve either a maximum allowable flow rate for the solvent or a maximum allowable flow rate for the extract oil, or a maximum allowable flow rate for the refined oil, or a reduced charge oil flow rate for a fixed refined oil flow rate.
