  • Publication number: 20140241940
    Abstract: Elimination and/or mitigation of fouling in a vapor transport systems, such as vent lines and scrubber feed lines may be accomplished using an antifouling additive. The method for employing the antifouling additive includes introducing into the vapor transport system an additive including a polar solvent and corrosion inhibitor wherein: the vapor transport system is substantially water free; the vapor transport system is used to transport acidic materials; the additive is a liquid at vapor transport system operating conditions; and the additive is stable at the vapor transport system operating conditions.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20070119747
    Abstract: A composition and method of inhibiting corrosion caused by naphthenic acid in fluids includes using a combination of a thiophosphorus compound and a hydrogen sulfide scavenging compound. The hydrogen sulfide scavenging compound significantly enhances the performance of the thiophosphorus compound and may be included at relatively low levels in the composition. The treatment may be applied to fluids including crude oils and lighter fractions thereof.
