Corrosion Management in Hydrocracking and Hydroprocessing Units

Product Number: MPWT19-14442

Author: Hendrik J. Debruyn

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Hydrocracking and other refinery hydroprocessing units have a common goal to convert organic sulfur compounds to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) that can be removed, thereby producing low-sulfur refinery products. Corrosion and equipment degradation risks range from high-temperature hydrogen attacks (HTHA) to ammonium bisulfide and ammonium chloride corrosion in the downstream heat recovery and fluid separation equipment.
This paper provides an overview of corrosion management principles that can be applied to reduce operating risks in new and existing units, focusing equipment susceptible to ammonium bisulfide (NH4HS) and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) corrosion. Best practices for materials selection, as well as designing for corrosion management through adequate provision of corrosion management related instrumentation and sampling points are covered.

There are three known types of high temperature sulfidation present in the refining industry. Two of them have industry recognized methodologies for damage prediction, and they both manifest as general thinning morphologies. They are known as H2-free sulfidation and H2/H2S corrosion. The third type, although recognized as H2-free, low-sulfur corrosion, does not have an accepted chemical theory or a prediction tool, and it manifests as a localized thinning morphology. This third type of sulfidation is much less common and occurs in units and process conditions where little-to-no H2S would be expected to be present. This paper discusses the operating conditions in two known damage cases presented here and provides a viable chemical theory that could lead to the observed damage profile. In addition, an approach to mitigation of this attack is discussed.
