1 Corrosion Potential - Refinery Overhead Systems Amit Patel Bartlesville, Oklahoma OLI Simulation Conference November 16-18, 2010 Whippany, NJ
2 Corrosivity Amine Hydrochlorides Impact of overhead corrosion Overhead Corrosion Crude Unit Operation Controlling Overhead Corrosion Electrolyte Modeling Case Study - Use of OLI Stream Analyzer Vacuum Tower Coker Fractionator Summary Agenda
3 Outlet line on crude vs. ovhd exchanger Note heavy build up of salts and corrosion products Salts and corrosion products flowed out of exchanger where corrosion was occurring
4 Corrosivity - Amine Hydrochlorides Amine hydrochlorides are corrosive salts formed from neutralizer application and tramp amines - Leaks in equipment develop leading to Health and Safety issues - Unscheduled shutdown of equipment results in Lost Production
5 Salt Hydrolysis MgCl 2 + 2H 2 O --> Mg(OH) 2 + 2HCl (g) CaCl 2 + 2H 2 O --> Ca(OH) 2 + 2HCl (g) NaCl + 2H 2 O --> NaOH + HCl (g) Salt Formation NH 3 (g) + HCl(g) <=> NH 4 Cl(s) R-NH 2 (g) + HCl(g) <=> R-NH 2 HCl(s) Corrosion NH 4 Cl(s) <=> NH 4 + (aq) + Cl - (aq) NH 4 + (aq) + Cl - (aq) <=> NH 3 (aq) + HCl(aq) Overhead Corrosion Overhead corrosion control Neutralizer Filming High inhibitor Water wash Overhead Temperature HCl Organic acids NH 3, H 2 S R-NH 2 R-NH 2 HCl(s) <=> R-NH 3 + (aq) + Cl - (aq) R-NH 3 + (aq) + Cl - (aq) <=> R-NH 2 (aq) + HCl(aq) Fe + 2HCl(aq) --> FeCl 2 + H 2 (Salt hydrolysis) NH 3, R-NH 2 Salts (MgCl 2, CaCl 2, NaCl) Organic acids NH 3, H 2 S R-NH 2 ** Similar crude contaminants in slop oil R-NH 2
6 Liquid Amine Salts Corroding the Bottom Side of the 18-inch Carbon Steel Pipe Leaving the Top Pump-around Draw off of the Crude Tower Naphtha Line Corrosion High Corrosion Rate of in 6 O clock position
7 Equilibrium Salt Formation Salt will form No salt will form
8 Controlling Overhead Corrosion Reduce contaminant levels Improve desalting performance, desalter wash water quality, re-route slop streams Increase tower overhead temperature Water washing overheads Inject neutralizer Change overhead chemistry Benefits of different corrosion control options can be evaluated using a good overhead system model
9 Refining Overheads Electrolyte Modeling Input Flows Temperature Pressure Water Analysis Properties of hydrocarbons Neutralizer Output Water dew point Salt Point (ammonia, amine) Aqueous ph Phase behavior OLI Equilibrium Thermodynamic Model
10 How can overhead modeling help? Proper selection of amines for overhead system Different amines form salts at different temperatures Neutralizer amines exhibit differences in ability to control ph at water dew point Model can help analyze effect of various neutralizer amines Troubleshoot events Did changes in unit operation create a corrosive environment? Identify significant shifts in unit operation NH 4 Cl/Amine-HCl salt point Water dew point Overhead modeling can improve overall unit performance and reliability
11 Case Study Vacuum Tower Concern: Is there ammonium chloride salt formation potential in the main overhead line of the vacuum tower? Motive Steam X-1 Vacuum Tower X-2 X-3 Vent Gas to Ejector/Liquid Ring Pump Hotwell Sour H20 Slop Oil
