The Effect of Crude Oils on the Metallic Corrosion and the Stability of Metals in a Corrosive Environment

Abstract

Crude oil is a supreme earth resource that essential in most of industrial applications while having some adverse effects in the crude oil refining process regarding metals such as the corrosion. According to the general definition usually the corrosion is the formation of metal oxides, sulfides, hydroxides or any compound related with carboxylic group. In the environment of crude oils the corrosion is highly depended on the sulfur, organic acids, mercaptans and salts composed in crude oils and also the chemical compositions of such metals. In the current research it was expected to investigate the relative effects of corrosive properties on the rate of corrosion in seven selected types of metals which are frequently used in the Sri Lankan crude oil refining industry and the stability of those metals against the effect of both Murban and Das Blend crude oils regarding the composition and properties.Corrosive properties of both crude oils were determined using in order to XRF analyzer, titration methods and salt analyzer also the chemical compositions of each metal was determined by XRF detector. Batches of equal sized metal coupons from seven types of metal

Economic Forecasting With Deep Learning: Crude Oil

“…It can be found with other materials such as natural gas and others before refined to produce usable oil and other usable petrochemical products. Others can define Crude oil as a mixture of hydrocarbons and also composed with some accessory compounds that able to give some specific properties to such crude oils (Aluvihara & Premachandra, 2019).…”
