TRAMP AMINE REMOVAL AUTOMATION WITH 3D TRASARTM TECHNOLOGY FOR DESALTER THE SITUATIONThe refinery improved its desalter acidification for amine removal reliability; leading to a higher level of system assurance for the crude unit, while safely processing a wider range of cost-advantaged crudes. A Gulf Coast refinery processing a highly variable crude slate was continually looking for innovative mitigation strategies allowing them to run as much LTO as they could process. Their focus was how to best handle MEA contamination in the crude. The desalters already had a new online pH control system, but it failed within two months of operation. Without a reliable means to monitor and control the acid dosage, the risk was acid over-dosing (potentially causing ETP de-nitrification issues) or
