Considering Mass Transfer in Refinery Crude Distillation Overhead Water Wash

This paper proposes a theory for how a successful water wash achieves salt corrosion control, the mass-transfer considerations driving this process and how popular practices may contribute to or hinder successful outcomes.

Water wash systems have been used by refiners in distillation overheads for decades to assist with corrosion control. Some of these wash systems have worked well reducing overhead corrosion from HCl salts providing the operator with valuable flexibility in operation of the crude unit. However, some wash systems struggle to protect the system from salt corrosion despite implementing many industry-popular features in the wash design.
