Who we are?
Downstream Consulting Services Ltd. (DSCS) is a specialized consulting company providing planning, scheduling and optimization solutions for the refining and downstream petroleum industry.
Our work focuses on helping refineries make better operational and economic decisions through advanced planning methodologies, Linear Programming and specialized planning systems.
We combine industry knowledge, technical expertise and practical consulting experience to develop solutions that reflect the real operating conditions and business objectives of each client.
What We Do
Refinery profitability depends on many interconnected decisions — from crude selection and unit utilization to product yields, blending, inventories, logistics and market opportunities.
Our role is to help clients evaluate these factors together and identify operating strategies that create the greatest economic value within the refinery’s physical and operational constraints.
Our principal areas of expertise include:
-

Our Approach
We believe that effective planning is not simply about having sophisticated software.
A successful planning solution must accurately represent the physical refinery, reflect current operating practices, incorporate relevant economic information and provide results that planners and management can use with confidence.
Our approach therefore combines:
Industry Knowledge
Understanding refinery processes, economics and operational constraints.
Technical Expertise
Applying Linear Programming and advanced planning methodologies.
Practical Implementation
Developing solutions that work within the client’s actual operating environment.
Continuous Improvement
Keeping planning models and systems aligned with changing operations and business requirements.
