Corrosion Mechanisms of Overhead and Sour Circuits

During the petro processing, the overhead condenser, reflux lines, sulfur bearing water circuits and low point stagnant zones are highly susceptible to localized corrosion. This corrosion results from the interactions among chlorides, acidic condensates, ammonium salts and wet hydrogen sulfide, finally affecting gasket seating surface, drain ports, dead leg piping sections and weld areas. So when you choose the suitable materials for your equipment, you must strictly base your decision on the specific corrosion mechanisms. For areas that corrosion is minimal, 316 may be a suitable choice. However, if chloride concentrations, the corrosivity of sulfur bearing media, or the risk of under deposit corrosion increase, you should choose the suitable alloy grade, such as Duplex 2205, Super Duplex 2507, Incoloy 825, Inconel 625 or Hastelloy C276 and based on the specific operating temperature and the chemical composition of the medium. SparkX focus to provides customers with rods, strips and profiles, and typically used in the manufacture of key parts such as nozzles, fittings, clamps, and seals. These areas are the most prone to corrosion and a clean surface finish and precise dimensions are very important and can reduce the problems for you equipment.

Damage in High Temperature Areas

Damage in High Temperature Areas

Refineries’ high-temperature areas are always prone to have many problems, so you should pay attention to furnace outlets, transfer pipelines, internal parts of high temperature heat exchangers and various hydroprocessing related parts to address concerns such as high temperature sulfidation, naphthenic acid corrosion, oxidation and high temperature leaded strength degradation. Rather than using common stainless steel, these parts require the high performance alloys, because these alloys can maintain their original microstructural integrity and cross sectional thickness even when they are exposed to high temperatures and chemically active fluid environments. If you need welding applications within high temperature conditions, stabilized austentic grades such as 321 and 347 are excellent choices. If your equipment needs superior oxidation resistance and exceptional long time high temperature durability, alloys such as Incoloy 800H/800HT, Inconel 625, and Hastelloy X are very suitable for you. SparkX provides multiple rods and wires specifically designed to these operating environments. These materials are expertly suitable for your equipment’s high temperature fasteners, support structures and spring hardware, and ensure the stability and surface finish of your machinery and reduce the risk of deformation and cracking.

 

Maintenance Risks of Small Hardware in Process Units

Many small parts can also lead to big problems, such as valve internals, valve stems, springs, fixture hardware, threaded fittings and sealing auxiliaries. These parts are typically in some important locations, such has high stress, numerous crevices and severe corrosion, so these necessary frequent maintenance. So these important points such as machining stability, thread quality, the responsiveness of elastic parts and condition of sealing surfaces are all key areas requiring close attention. SparkX provides bars, precision wires and cold finished profiles and supports your critical parts. These materials are specifically suitable for the rigorous demands of CNC machining, rolling, forming and precision assembly processes. This can significantly reduce the risk of latent defect with in threads and sealing surfaces, ensuring greater stability in spring performance and preload force.

Maintenance Risks of Small Hardware in Process Units
Why do refinery overhead systems always leak first at small fittings and drain points?

Because these locations are prone to collecting condensate, salts and deposits, creating low flow crevice conditions.
