As the understanding of the causes of corrosion in crude unit overheads has rapidly evolved over the past decade so have overhead modeling capabilities. The industry has grown over time from recognizing severe corrosion due to hydrochloric acid (HCl) concentrated at the Water Dew Point (WDP) then to the discovery of the Salt Point (SP) and eventually to calculations of a distinct ionic Dew Point (iDP) and its composition. Current ionic modeling technology allows for the calculation of these three key points and simultaneously considers contributions of all ionic species present in the overhead and their impact on corrosion. This paper will discuss the evolution of overhead modeling capabilities and case histories where modeling was used to drive successful overhead corrosion control.
