Operational impacts and benefits of determining Methanol Concentration by Gas Chromatography
Methanol hydrates are a common problem within the oil and gas industry. Chromatographic analysis is one of the most cost-effective methods of examining methanol concentration.
Read MoreDetermination of Organic Chloride Content in Crude Oil
Organic chlorides in crude oil are known to cause severe corrosion in crude tower overhead systems. As a result, total organic chloride's refinery specifications are to accept no more than 1 mg/kg in the crude oil sample. Accurate determination of total organic chlorides is crucial to the producer involved in custody transfer to ensure their product's midstream acceptance.
