Typical measurement techniques that involve separating the oil from water, mixing, and measuring have traditionally run into problems where chlorides settle out of solution leading to different measurements over time. In addition to this, limited testing frequency and extended time between when the sample was grabbed and when it was measured often make these measurements useless in upset identification and control. The key to effective corrosion control begins with an effective chloride measurement regimen.

Read XOS' whitepaper to learn how Clora Online not only provides an effective tool for real-time salt content monitoring, but also serves as an important process control tool for chlorine content in desalted crude and other process streams further downstream in the refinery process.
