METHOD AND SYSTEM CONTROLLING THE AMOUNT OF ANTI-FOULING ADDITIVE FOR PARTICULATE-INDUCED FOULING MITIGATION IN REFINING OPERATIONS

摘要

A method and system for controlling fouling in a hydrocarbon refining process that includes measuring a level of a particulate in a process stream of the hydrocarbon refining process in communication with a hydrocarbon refinery component, identifying an effective amount of additive capable of reducing particulate-induced fouling based at least in part on the measured level of the particulate in the process stream, and introducing the effective amount of additive to the hydrocarbon refining process.
