Naphthenic acid corrosion and high temperature sulfidation are the main corrosion drivers in the hot sections of crude distillation unit. Sometimes described by the term “crude corrosivity”, these damage mechanisms are responsible for most of major incidents in crude distillation units. Increasing unit throughput, blending sour and acidic crudes, or changing the distillation profile may create conditions that lead to accelerated naphthenic acid corrosion and/or sulfidation.

Crude-Corrology® can help operators and engineers to assess corrosion risks related to these damage mechanisms.

This model combines key process parameters, including temperature, total acid number (TAN) and sulphur concentration with flow modelling to provide actionable insights that support process evaluation, Integrity Operating Window (IOW) development, and inspection planning.
