Paper No. 10359 2010 PREDICTION, MONITORING, AND CONTROL OF AMMONIUM CHLORIDE CORROSION IN REFINING PROCESSES Adan Sun and Deyuan Fan Shell Global Solutions (US) Inc. Westhollow Technology Center 3333 Highway 6 South Houston, TX 77082 ABSTRACT Corrosion by wet ammonium chloride salt is a significant concern in many refining process units. Because corrosion rates typically experienced can be extremely high when all of the conducive conditions are met, every attempt is made to prevent this corrosion from occurring. This includes process design, corrosion resistant materials, and source control of chlorides. However, despite the best effort by the industry, ammonium chloride continues to pose a serious threat to the integrity of refining equipment and the process safety of refineries because the omnipresence of chlorides in a refinery. This paper presents a recent effort to further minimize this threat. It includes advances in the fundamental understanding of ammonium chloride salt behavior, predictive modeling effort based upon such fundamentals, the integration of such models with process and operating conditions in real-time, and guidance for inspection in search of this highly elusive corrosion phenomenon.
