Abstract:
Sour water streams in petroleum refining pose operational and environmental challenges, with fluctuating H2S and NH3 levels affecting efficiency and compliance. Traditional ammonium sulfate monitoring depends on manual titrations, creating delays and data gaps. HORIBA's Process Raman technology offers continuous, real-time monitoring of H2S, NH3, and ammonium sulfate salts directly in the process line. By providing immediate visibility, refiners can automate adjustments, optimize neutralization, and avoid costly upsets. This presentation will show how leading refiners use HORIBA Process Raman to enhance reliability, cut costs, and deliver measurable ROI through improved operational performance.
