This episode is focused on the need to curb shortage and importation of petroleum done products in lubricate-producing nation Nigeria through the movement of conventional standard refineries in conjunction with major perfect- ries operating efficiently. This research study complicated crude oil assay analysis on twenty various types of Nigerian crude oil from various oil fields using Aspen Hysys Version 10 to decide their compositions, features, product cuts and ascertain their suitabil- ity as feedstock for transposable refinery (covering plant). Thus, crude oil assay resides of a compilation of data on characteristics and composition of natural oils. The assay provides critical news on the suitability of unrefined petroleum for a particular refinery and judging the desired merchandise yields and quality. Besides, light and medium sweet oil types were fake in a conventional transposable refinery (topping plant) at various numbers of column trays (25, 29, 35, 40 and 48) to decide their product yield. Based on product yield and supplies costs at dif- ferent numbers of tray processions, a modular purifier with twenty-nine column trays was used in this study. Based on the result of these a body of the most important- lyses, a conventional modular purifier with twenty-nine trays in the rude distillation unit was preferred for the simulation. Thus, twenty Nigerian unrefined petroleum types were simulated in a conventional interchangeable refinery of 30,000 cask per day capaci- ty and twenty-nine column trays individually to evaluate their brand yield and tray compositions.
