Abstract
|
Corrosion
monitoring is an important tool to control and predict corrosion in piping,
vessels, furnace tubes etc. of chemical plants. Authors report results from
ultrasonic wall thickness measurements in crude oil and high vacuum
distillation units (CDU/HVU) of a German crude oil refinery.
Researchers installed wireless ultrasonic sensors on the external surface of selected piping to monitor internal corrosion. They focused on high temperature corrosion, which is caused by sulfur and acid components that are present in crude oil and its fractions. |
