Technical Spotlight Seminars
Monthly Complimentary Online Seminar Series
From the comfort of your physical or virtual office, come and join OLI simulation experts sharing the latest process modeling simulation techniques for industrial electrolyte and water chemistry applications. Each online seminar will focus on simulating a specific industrial application using the OLI Systems software portfolio and related capabilities with clearly defined inputs, calculations and outputs. Each session will be led by one of OLI's electrolyte and water chemistry process simulation experts. Each presenter on our team has extensive knowledge of the science of electrolytes and water chemistry as well as their applications in a broad range of industrial applications. Join these seminars to learn from our experts and benefit from their extensive experience in solving practical challenges

Corrosion Control in Hydroprocessing Units REAC Systems
Presented by: Ezequiel Vicent
June 11, 2020
10:00 AM EDT
Corrosion control in oil refining equipment is very complex, as these issues are associated with the ever-changing conditions of a refinery. These changing conditions may include swings in production requirements, increase in unit throughputs, processing of opportunity crudes, legislative changes to product specifications, and the list goes on.
In the refinery hydrotreating processes, the reactor effluent system is prone to fouling and corrosion via ammonium bisulfide (NH4HS) and ammonium chloride (NH4CL) deposition. NH4HS salts can lead to reactor effluent air cooler (REAC) tube fouling and plugging, and if an aqueous phase develops, under-deposit corrosion.
OLI has developed the simulation technology to model these systems and predict the formation of these corrosive chemicals, allowing refiners to better manage the unit integrity and analyze the process of operating envelopes under changing conditions.
