Abstract:
Monitoring corrosion is key to maintaining successful long-term operation of oil pipelines and refineries. Amines are routinely added to neutralize hydrogen sulfide vapor for transport of crude to the refinery and are typically used to strip hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and other acidic gases in the refining process. However, too much amine present in the wrong location can increase corrosion rates. Therefore, it is in the industry’s best interest to monitor these corrosion sources and work is underway at ASTM to develop a standard practice for extraction of water-soluble amines in crude oil. This talk addresses the impact of amines on crude refinement and the versatility of ion chromatography to monitor these species.
