Process
Excessive chloride (salt) left in the crude oil frequently results in higher
corrosion rates in refining units and also has detrimental effects on catalysts
used in these units. The operation of a desalting system can be very
challenging due to changing process variable. To improve the process control,
reduce costs and to use the desalter as efficiently as possible, accurate and
reliable on-line Salt in Crude Oil data is needed.
