Abstract
Low base strength neutralizers for crude unit operations were commercially introduced in the early 1990's. This paper discusses evolution of the technology and experiences since that time. Case histories are presented, including both dry and water washed overhead systems, along with strengths and limitations of this technology which have been identified.
