In the light of the emissions associated with fossil fuel combustion used in industry and their associated health and environmental impacts, the study of energy efficiency and reduce the greenhouse gases emissions of industry becoming increasingly attractive from various researches. The separation of petroleum fractions are energy and power intensive processes and contribute significantly to the greenhouse gases emissions (e.g. carbon dioxide) though contribute to climate change. The main objective of this study is to get a better use of energy, reduce impact environmental and operation cost for the distillation column of petroleum fractions, especially the gasoline stabilization column. To do this, the steps followed for the calculation of distillation columns were presented. Simulations result using Soave-Redlich-Kong (SRK) thermodynamic model, with the help of CHEMSEP and Pro II softwares were validated on the basis of experimental data collected from crude oil refinery. Hence, a technical feasibility study was carried out, using numerical simulation, to run the stabilization column at optimum values of pressure, reflux ratio and feed tray to optimize the energy consumption, energy efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions from the furnace (Reboiler) and operation cost of the column were calculated, before and after optimization. The results allowed us to highlight the effect of these parameters on the energy consumption of the stabilization column. From an economic point of view, stabilization column with optimal parameters may contribute to a decrease in expenses related to the energy consumption and carbon dioxide.
