CRUDE/FLASHER INCREASE TAN LIMITS

Advantiv Engineering provided overall Project Management; Engineering/Design was provided by others. This project installed an on-line Permasense probe/analysis systems in the Crude and Flasher Units. Two corrosion monitoring skid for the hot corrosion loops were installed along with the associated piping, electrical and instrumentation.

“Corrosion monitoring is required in order to understand the variability of corrosion rates over time, as the variables that affect the likely corrosion outlined above change.
Monitoring requires frequent high quality measurements to be able to spot changes quickly and to have enough data with which trends can be reliably calculated. Several types of instrument have been used for monitoring corrosion in oil refineries. Two of the most common are intrusive corrosion probes and manual ultrasonic inspection.”
