Abstract:
Oil pipelines and refineries require constant monitoring and upkeep to maintain successful operations. To minimize corrosive gases and neutralize hydrogen sulfide vapor, amines are routinely added during the transport of crude oil. However, if too much amine is added, corrosion rates may accelerate. Therefore, it is in the industry’s best interest to monitor these compounds at various locations. Cooperation continues between ASTM and industry partners to develop a standard practice for extraction of water-soluble amines in crude oil. This talk addresses the impact of amines on crude refinement and the versatility of ion chromatography to monitor these species.
