  • ON-LINE MONITORING AND PREDICTION OF CORROSION IN OVERHEAD SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20120053861
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method and system for estimating the onset of salt formation in an overhead fluid system. The method may include measuring parameters of a process stream by collecting data from one or more sensor arrays on an overhead line, such as from a distillation column, and then estimating the onset of salt formation corrosion using the data from the sensor arrays. The method may be implemented in real-time. The method may include transmitting data to monitoring facilities and/or sending instructions to alarms and/or regulators. Also described is a system for performing the method.
