2 i F I n (1) CC CC 1 where CC F = cost for 3Q 2016 (present), CC I = cost for reported date, n = number of years between reported date to the present, and i = inflation rate (average). Note the United States West Coast location has the lowest erection cost that we adjust for other locations if desired. We assume an annual i value as 3%/year. We use factoring-type investment cost data, i.e., with fixed cost per unit of feed 3 that we adjust for capacity using the six tenth rule of Equation (9) 5-6 and then escalate similarly as for the previous data for two assumed refineries called plant 1 and plant 2: CC c F F P2 P2 CCP1 cp1 0.6 (2) where F CC P1 = cost of plant 1, F CC P2 = cost of plant 2, c P1 = capacity of plant 1, and c P2 = capacity of plant 2. If a certain cost is not available, we estimate based on the same erection and running costs for an equivalent process technology, e.g., we use the data for Stone and Webster s RFCC catalytic cracking to estimate the cost for Shell LR FCC technology. The approximation is acceptable given that there is a reported 30 to 50% error in cost estimation. 50 The detailed relations for the cost parameters in the objective function are as follows: CC cc c nu (3) k k k k
3 CR k = cr k F k n (4) CM nf CE k (5) k CP = cp n m (6) where cc k = unit capital cost for process unit k ($/bbl), c k = capacity of process unit k (bbl/d), n = number of days in a year, cr k = unit running cost for process unit k ($/bbl), F k = inlet flow rate of process unit k (bbl/d), f = cost factor (inflation rate) for maintenance allowance and taxes and insurance (%), CE k = total annualized erection cost for process unit k ($/yr), average daily pay per employee ($/d), and m = number of employees. Table S1 lists the refinery feed and product prices used in our study (as based on Q data) while Table S2 gives the utility prices. Table S3 lists the process units and their operating modes that are considered in the study (which are included in the refinery superstructure).

6 Refinery Superstructure Construction This section provides more detailed information on the three refinery processing schemes that are used as a basis to construct the superstructure for our MILP model development. ARDS processing scheme Figure S1 shows a residual conversion refinery topology based on an ARDS (atmospheric residue desulfurization) scheme. It uses a crude flasher followed by ARDS/VRDS hydrotreater (U 18 ) (e.g., the Chevron three-product mode technology). We next perform vacuum flashing (U 5 ) of the low sulfur atmospheric residue to produce a delayed coker feedstock. Straight-run naphtha, kerosene, and diesel are hydrotreated. Then we split the hydrotreated naphtha into light and heavy fractions for which the latter is catalytically reformed to improve octane rating. is hydrotreated to reduce its aromatic and naphthalene content to meet jet fuel specifications. We convert the low sulfur vacuum and coker gas oils in an advanced cracking reactor (U 12 ) to yield ethylene, acetylene, propylene, butadiene, and pyrolysis gasoline. This option is more profitable than using conventional gas oil FCC or hydrocracker. Delayed coker converts vacuum residue to cracked distillates and green coke. Using ARDS upstream of delayed coker improves the ultimate coke quality by reducing sulfur and metals in the coker feed. To compare, low sulfur gas oils produced via this scheme gives better advanced cracking reactor yields than untreated coker gas oils (CGO) from a straight-run naphtha residue. Because ARDS reduces the carbon residual content of coker feed, coke yield from delayed coker is less than that of untreated reduced crude oil feed. 37 A vacuum rerun unit downstream of ARDS further reduces coke yield. Moreover, operating delayed coker at 10% recycle ratio is more profitable. Hence it is
7 advantageous to convert coke to hydrogen in KRW gasification process (U 90 ) to supplement refinery needs. VRDS processing scheme Figure S2 shows another type of residual conversion refinery topology that is based on a VRDS (vacuum residue desulfurization) scheme. It initially performs vacuum flashing of high sulfur atmospheric residue. This configuration uses a combined crude and vacuum flasher coupled with gas oil hydrotreater and advanced cracker to hydrotreat straight-run naphtha, kerosene, and diesel. Like ARDS scheme, we then split the hydrotreated naphtha into light and heavy fractions to catalytically reform the latter while hydrotreating straightrun kerosene to jet fuel. High sulfur vacuum residue is desulfurized by Shell RHC catalytic hydrotreater/hydroconverter (U 40 ) followed by delayed coking at 10% recycle ratio (U 53 ). Low sulfur gas oil from vacuum rerun unit, delayed coker, and Shell RHC is fed to advanced cracking reactor, which as is similar to the ARDS scheme, is found to be feasible and preferred than using conventional hydrocracker or FCC. Advanced cracking reactor converts low sulfur gas oil to high yields of ethylene, acetylene, propylene, butadiene and hydrolysis gasoline. Delayed coker converts vacuum residue to cracked distillates and green coke. Since Shell RHC reduces the coker feed s carbon residual content, coke yield from delayed coker is less than that of an untreated reduced crude feed. RFCC processing scheme Figure 2 shows a residual conversion refinery based on RFCC (residue fluid catalytic cracking) scheme. It involves residual cracking of low sulfur atmospheric residue using crude
8 flash followed by atmospheric residue desulfurization and then RFCC. We desulfurize reduced crude by the Chevron process followed by fluid catalytic cracking (FCC, U 68 ) with advanced process control (APC) to catalytically crack low sulfur atmospheric residue. Straight-run naphtha, kerosene, and diesel are hydrotreated. As is similar to the previous configurations, we then perform the following operating sequence: (1) split the hydrotreated naphtha into light and heavy fractions to catalytically reform the latter; (2) hydrotreat kerosene to jet fuel; (3) convert low sulfur atmospheric residue in U 68 to liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline, light cycle oil, and decant oil; (4) crack light cycle oil in advanced cracking reactor, in which this option is again preferred to hydrocracker or FCC to get high yields of ethylene, acetylene, propylene, butadiene, and hydrolysis gasoline. Besides improving FCC product yields, desulfurizing residue results in lower sulfur emissions from FCC regenerator and allows using FCC decant oil as low sulfur fuel oil. Note that a low sulfur light cycle oil produced via this route gives better advanced cracking reactor yields than an untreated one from a straight-run residue.
