Abstract: A method for inhibiting corrosion on internal metal surfaces of an overhead condenser of a crude distillation unit in which hydrocarbons, water and amine hydrochlorides condense, the method includes adding to the overhead condenser an amine composition in an amount and at a rate sufficient to maintain the pH of water condensate in the condenser above a pH of about 5, the amine composition made of a mixture of four amines wherein the amines are monoethanloamine, methoxypropyl amine, morpholine and cyclohexylamine present in a weight ratio ranging from about 25:30:25:20 to about 30:40:15:15. Further, a system and method assess the corrosion rate and optimize the dosage of neutralizing amine composition during the operating conditions of overhead condensing system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gasohol fuel composition that prevents corrosion of the metallurgies involved in fuel storage tanks, vehicle fuel tanks, fuel distribution systems, and transportation systems. The novel gasohol fuel composition comprises of a major portion of an alcohol blended gasoline fuel and a minor portion of a corrosion inhibitor formulation, wherein the corrosion inhibitor formulation comprises of (i) a reaction product of (a) a monosaturated fatty acid; and (b) an azomethine compound derived from a condensation reaction between a carbonyl compound and an amine compound; (ii) a fatty acid oil or ester selected from a group comprising of castor oil, palm oil, soyabean oil, and methyl soya ester; (iii) a dispersing agent, the dispersing agent being a sulfonate compound; and (iv) a viscosity reducing agent selected from a group comprising of ethanol, isopropanol, and propargyl alcohol.

Abstract: A bitumen package is disclosed. The package comprises of paving bitumen binder having a softening point in the range of 30-65° C. enclosed within a multi-layered polymer film encasement, each layer being a thin flexible continuous self-sustaining polymer film, such that upon melting, the polymer becomes homogeneous with the paving bitumen binder contained therein.
