Corrosion Mitigation in Columns & Vessels
Colin Bateman discusses common corrosion mechanisms, including naphthenic acid corrosion, salt, and sour environment in fractionator towers, strippers, desalters, vacuum columns, and naphtha splitters – and mitigation strategies.
Crude & Vacuum Heater Limitations
Next, he will touch on crude and vacuum heater limitations, including high bridgewall temperature, high stack temperature, and hot spots.
Technologies discussed in the webinar have helped extend reliability of key mission critical assets, extend run lengths and reduce energy losses for major refineries globally.
The presentation will be case study-driven, presenting findings from projects delivered in CDUs across the globe, including both recent and inspected applications.
