Topical A: 9th Topical Conference on Refinery Processing (TA) | |||
| #21 - Desalting Tutorial (TA010) | |||
| Desalter operation has a direct impact on crude column overhead corrosion control, metals content in conversion unit feed, and refinery waste water treatment. Heavier, higher metals and sulfur content crude oils are now frequently processed in many refineries. Finding ways to improve desalter performance has become a high priority in most refineries. At the same time, the processing of opportunity crude oils has made desalter operation more challenging. This session will concentrate on papers describing aspects of basic desalter operation. Papers are invited which cover best practices in current desalter vessel design, equipment, and operating strategies. | |||
