The continuous operation of a crude unit for a time period approaching six years without a shutdown due to aqueous phase corrosion failure is possible with current levels of technology. This paper will present a discussion of the comprehensive crude unit corrosion control program, employed by a Gulf Coast refiner, to achieve a record 72 months of continuous operation without an aqueous phase corrosion failure.
