Safe and Reliable – On-Line Monitoring of the Salt Content in Crude Oil as per ASTM D 3230

Monitoring the chloride in crude oil after desalting is crucial to check the desalting process efficiency and to prevent corrosion problems in downstream processes. Metrohm Applikon (Switzerland) presents a total solution based on the ADI 2045TI Ex proof Process Analyzer using conductivity detection as per ASTM D 3230.

The ADI 2045TI Ex proof Process Analyzer is a highly versatile system suitable for multi-parameter analysis depending on the requirements.

In this particular application, determination of the salt content is implemented as per ASTM D3230. Since the sampling point is typcally in a hazardous environment, the ADI 2045TI Ex proof Process Analyzer is designed and equipped to meet directives 94/9/EC (ATEX95). No hot work permits are needed for maintenance and the analyser can be remotely controlled.
