PROCESS FOR SIMULATING THE CORROSIVE EFFECTS OF REFINERY FEEDSTOCKS ON REFINERY METTALURGY

摘要

A process for evaluating the corrosive effect of a refinery feedstock on the metallurgy of one or more refinery processes, said process comprising: (i) providing a plurality of refinery feedstocks and/or a plurality of fractions of one or more refinery feedstocks, (ii) providing an array comprising a plurality of metal samples representative of metallurgy present in a refinery, (iii) contacting each of the plurality of metal samples with one or more of said refinery feedstocks or fractions under non-static conditions, and (iv) determining the corrosive effect of said feedstock and/or fraction on the metal sample.
