A method for monitoring and controlling unwanted polymer byproduct generated in a monomer production, storage, or handling process, for example polystyrene in a styrene production process, is described. The method comprises receiving a sample () taken during a monomer production process by a Fourier-Transform infrared spectrometer (), performing an infrared spectroscopy analysis on the sample to generate spectral data () by the Fourier-Transform infrared spectrometer, and determining a percentage () of at least one polymer in the sample by mathematical correlative processing of the spectral data by a computing device ().

Antifoulant compositions and methods are used for inhibiting fouling on structural parts of a system exposed to a fluid hydrocarbon or petrochemical stream. Polyamine antifoulants are added to such systems. The polyamine antifoulants may be conjointly used with dispersants and/or fatty acids. The fatty acids have been found to reduce thermal degradation of the polyamine antifoulants.

Reduced fouling of hydrocarbon oil

A method of scavenging ammonia and amines, the method having the steps of (i) providing an aldehyde-based scavenger composition; and (ii) adding the aldehyde-based scavenger composition to a hydrocarbon.

Methods for resolving emulsions in a hydrocarbon stream by contacting the hydrocarbon stream with a demulsifying composition are disclosed. Demulsifying compositions for treating a hydrocarbon stream are also disclosed, wherein the demulsifying composition comprises at least one C4-C12 alkyl phenol-formaldehyde resin alkoxylate.

Demulsifying compositions and methods of use

Described herein are systems and methods for evaluating and mitigating the wax risks of a given hydrocarbon composition such as crude oil. The disclosed systems and methods enable rapid and ready prediction of wax risks using algorithms based on a small sample of the hydrocarbon composition. The wax risks are predicted using predictive models developed from machine learning. The disclosed systems and methods include mitigation strategies for wax risks that can include chemical additives, operation changes, and/or hydrocarbon blend.

Described herein are systems and methods for evaluating and mitigating the fouling potential of a given crude oil. The system and methods enable the refiner to rapidly and readily identify the particular mechanisms by which a crude oil may foul, and to select the optimal chemical treatment and/or crude blend to mitigate fouling potential.

System and method to mitigate fouling during a hydrocarbon refining process

Antifoulant compositions and methods are used for inhibiting fouling on structural parts of a system exposed to a fluid hydrocarbon or petrochemical stream. The antifoulant compositions may comprise at least one polyalkylene anhydride ester ('PAAE') dispersant. Other antifoulant compositions may comprise an alkylphenol sulfide ('APS').

Compositions and methods for inhibiting fouling in hydrocarbons or petrochemicals

Treatment compositions for neutralizing acidic species and reducing hydrochloride and amine salts in a fluid hydrocarbon stream are disclosed. The treatment compositions may comprise at least one amine with a salt precipitation potential index of equal to or less than about 1.0. Methods for neutralizing acidic species and reducing deposits of hydrochloride and amine salts in a hydrocarbon refining process are also disclosed.
