  • Optical method for determining fouling of crude and heavy fuels
    Patent number: 9038451
    Abstract: A method for detecting the formation of at least one phase in a mixture, particularly a hydrocarbon mixture. The method may include using a probe to expose a portion of the mixture to electromagnetic radiation to determine the value of a parameter of interest indicative of the formation of a phase. The method may also include using the value of the parameter of interest with a correlation between a known property of the mixture and the value of a parameter of interest to detect the formation of a phase.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2015
    Assignee: Baker Hughes Incorporated
    Inventors: Corina L. Sandu, Sebatian Csutak, Marco Respini, Huzeifa Ismail, Michael O. Brauchle

  • 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.

  • EMISSIONS ANALYZER AND METHODS OF USING SAME
    Publication number: 20100292934
    Abstract: An apparatus for characterizing emissions includes an emissions analyzer for estimating a concentration of a selected emission of the emission; a flow rate analyzer for estimating a volumetric flow rate of the emission; and a processor in data communication with the emissions analyzer and the flow rate analyzer, the processor including instructions for estimating a mass per time unit value for the selected emission based on the estimated concentration and the estimated volumetric flow rate.
