HF Alky Isobutane Exchanger Bypass Leak
Learnings from Incidents, HF Alkylation
In 2021, hydrofluoric acid vapors were detected by the safety instrumented subsystem (SIS) line of sight laser detection system, which activated both the rapid acid dump system and the fire suppression/unit deluge system. The source of the leak was determined to be the bypass line around the isobutane recycle cooler. Topics discussed: Residual Elements, CMLs for high RE, PMI for high RE, low flow and process deadleg identification.

Oilfield Production Additives Impact on Unconventional Crudes
Crude
Many refiners are processing larger volumes of attractively priced unconventional crudes produced from fracking operations. Contain polymers and other additives that upstream processors are often used to enhance oil recovery or address hydraulic limitations in their operations. These additives can disrupt refining unit operations such as Crude Desalters or restrict the ability of the refiner to meet key product specifications such as JFTOT or NACE Spindle Corrosion test.

Topic
Testing and Modelling Crude Oil Compatibility
Crude
Processing crudes from different sources leaves the possibility of blending incompatible mixtures. Compatibility models uses correlations to estimate the potential to create incompatible mixtures. Understanding the potential for compatibility effects without physically testing the crude provides the ability to choose the crude mix and purchase it while the market factors are favorable and the ability to safely purchase distressed cargos. The paper will discuss the basis of model correlations and the application to actual blends.
