89-18: Cutting Costs - Fast Detection and Response Corrects Cooling Water Miscellaneous

89-18: Cutting Costs - Fast Detection and Response Corrects Cooling Water MiscellaneousWork describes a real problem at an oil refinery,, where process leaks contaminants adversely affected corrosion inhibitor performance, resulting in downtime and equipment failure. A unique "fast response" system was developed, applied to spot onset of process leaks promptly, allowing response time to be cut to 85%. Field Lab facilities monitor cooling water quality continuously, including daily COD determinations. CORRATER peaks signal presence of

Results from extensive field trials have demonstrated excellent correlations with standard monitoring methods and treatment levels
