Corrosion Management Methods of High TAN Crude Case study: (Fula Crude Oil-Sudan)
Keywords:
High TAN crude, Fula crude, corrosion treatment method.Abstract
Sudan heavy crude share represents 18% of the global production. Fula heavy crude with high TAN and salt content affects the price and the environmental specifications, due to serious corrosion problems at the processing units of Khartoum refinery. In this study corrosion management methods for Fula processing equipment had been investigated .Diluents effect on properties improvement; metallurgical equipment selection had been explored. Smart Guard method suggested as an overall corrosion monitoring and control method for corrosion management in Khartoum refinery.
