Abstract: Problems relating to metal corrosion in petroleum exploitation plants are monitored by methods, which include the following steps: i. Modifying the petroleum water content ii. Measuring the metal corrosion of metal in contact with the petroleum of step i. iii. Building, by repeating step i and step 2 several times, a database of water content values and values of metal corrosion corresponding to the respective water content values, and iv. Processing the database to determine an optimum value or an optimum range of values of water content (Mw) of the petroleum when metal corrosion shows a minimum value (MCR).

Abstract: The invention relates to a petroleum product distillation method, comprising a step of distilling said products in a crude atmospheric distillation (CDU) or vacuum distillation (VDU) column (1, 1?), itself comprising a plurality of draw-off trays, including an upper draw-off tray (6, 6?), which is the draw-off tray the closest to the top (3, 3?) of said column (1, 1?), the method further comprising a step of drawing off the distillate (7, 7?) present at said upper draw-off tray (6, 6?), and being characterized in that it also comprises a step of separating said so drawn-off distillate (7, 7?) into, on the one hand, a primary fraction (9) including precipitated chlorinated salts and, on the other hand, a remaining fraction (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer installation for the management of a set of files, comprising a network including a server and a workstation, said installation further comprising a graphical user interface that is adapted to: —display a virtual space (1) as well as a first icon that represents one of said files (A) of the set of files, said first icon being placed within said virtual space (1), —enable a user of said workstation to control, by interaction of the control peripheral with said first icon, the display of a first interactive tool enabling said user to record on said server the existence of a link between said first file and at least another one of said files of the set of files. Computer installation for the management of a set of files.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of characterization of one petroleum, wherein the petroleum is placed in contact with a metal part, and which includes the following steps: i. Modifying the water content (W) of the petroleum, ii. Measuring the corrosion (CR) of said metal part by the petroleum whose water content (W) has hence been modified, iii. Building, by reiterating several times the two previous steps (i, ii), a database containing a plurality of different values of water content (W) of the petroleum and a plurality of values of corrosion (CR) each corresponding to one of said values of water content (W), iv. Determining, by processing said database, an optimum value or an optimum range of values of water content (MW) of the petroleum for which the corrosion of the metal part shows a minimum value (MCR). Problems of corrosion in the petroleum exploitation plants.

Abstract: A plant (1) for the treatment of a multiphasic fluid and method for line-characterization of the fluid wherein the plant (1) comprises a circuit (4) within which the fluid is intended to circulate and being characterized in that it comprises a characterization tool (3) comprising at least an analysis settler (6) adapted to separate the phases to obtain so-called separated phases and a means (9) for combining the separated phases. The plant (1) is designed so that a fraction of the fluid circulating within the circuit (4) circulates within the tool (3) to pass through the analysis settler (6) so that the phases of the fluid are separated then discharged into the circuit (4). The combining means (9) is designed so as to combine the separated phases.
