The IMO 2020 regulation limits the use of marine fuels to those with a sulfur content of less than 0.5% worldwide. To comply with the mandate, alternatives are established from the producer (refineries) and from the user (ships). The producer must change the type of crude oil used to obtain low sulfur residual or install new refining processes to reduce sulfur from the residuals, while the consumer can install scrubbers (scrubbers) to trap the sulfur oxides generated in combustion or change the type of fuel. The main objective of this study was to determine which is the best refining scheme in Peru that allows producing low sulfur bunker, for which each of the four main Peruvian refineries was analyzed: Talara Refinery, La Pampilla Refinery, Conchán Refinery and Iquitos Refinery; then the feasibility of low sulfur IFO-380 formulation with existing refinery streams was validated. In addition, two refining processes were studied to reduce sulfur from residuals and two alternatives that users can implement: the use of scrubbers or the use of LNG as fuel. IFO-380 was obtained using the atmospheric residual of crude ONO; In addition, the maximum percentage of RPS residual that could be added to the ONO residual was calculated to continue complying with the IFO-380 specification. Consequently, the best refining scheme in Peru to fulfill the purpose is the topping type. The installation of new refining processes to reduce sulfur in the residuals implies the construction of new plants, which is why it is necessary to carry out a greater analysis for their feasibility. The installation of scrubbers on the ships was more attractive, considering the payback time, than the use of LNG.
