A method of reducing hydrolysis in a hydrocarbon stream comprising adding to a hydrocarbon stream containing a chloride compound which undergoes hydrolysis at elevated temperatures in the presence of water to form hydrochloric acid, an effective amount of a treating agent that is at least one overbased complex of a metal salt and an organic acid complexing agent, the treating agent being added to hydrocarbon stream when the stream is at a temperature below which any substantial hydrolysis of the chloride containing compound occurs.

Method of reducing hydrolysis in hydrocarbon streams

A metal salt removal procedure for use with a crude oil flow is disclosed. A small amount of water, and a caustic in the range of 7-12 pH, and preferably 9-12 pH, are injected to form water bubbles surrounded by oil. An ethylene oxide reacted with polypropylene glycol at 350&deg; F. or so yields a water soluble demulsifier added at the rate of a few ppm to the water in oil mix. The added reaction product, a polyol, enables metal salt isolation in the water.

Method for pretreatment of refinery feed for desalting the feedstock,

A corrosion inhibitor comprising a dispersant, an imidazoline, an amide, an alkyl pyridine and a heavy aromatic solvent. The resultant blend effectively inhibits corrosion of flow lines containing low pH mixtures of hydrocarbons, water, and acid gases.

Solutions and methods for inhibiting corrosion

In testing for pipeline corrosion, a test loop is provided. The loop has three parallel legs, each having a corrosion test cell. The three parallel legs provide flow at different velocities. Corrosion inhibitor is injected and data is collected from the test cells so that the correlation between fluid flow temperature, pressure and valocity of the fluid flow.
