Patent number: 11326113Abstract: A method of optimizing system parameters in a crude unit to reduce corrosion and corrosion byproduct deposition in the crude unit is disclosed and claimed. The method includes measuring or predicting properties associated with the system parameters and using an automated controller to analyze the properties to cause adjustments in the chemical program to optimize the system parameters. Adjusting the system parameters effectively controls corrosion in the crude unit by reducing the corrosiveness of a fluid in the process stream and/or by protecting the system from a potentially corrosive substance. System parameter sensing probes are arranged at one or more locations in the process stream to allow accurate monitoring of the system parameters in the crude unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Glenn L. Scattergood, Sam Ferguson

Publication number: 20200216767Abstract: A method of correcting measurements of a chemical sensor used in an industrial facility. The method involves correcting for errors known to occur in the steady state and the dynamic state for specifically recognized situations. This method allows for correcting errors that occur due to deadtime, false zero measurements, and non-linear disturbances. The method combines automated measurement techniques and human know how to progressively learn and refine the accuracy of the corrections.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2020Publication date: July 9, 2020Inventors: Jin Wang, Nigel P. Hilton, Glenn L. Scattergood, Sam Ferguson
