A Surface Science Approach Towards Understanding and Mitigating Fouling and Corrosion in Crude Oil Refinery Units
DownloadFall 2021
This research presents a detailed investigation of corrosion and organic fouling on several important metallurgies in a broad range of crude oils. Throughout a refinery, fouling of metallic heat-transfer surfaces is a ubiquitous, costly, and complex phenomena, made increasingly challenging by...

The Role of Sulfur Species in Establishing the Corrosion Reactions in Refinery Metallurgies
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis is focused on the studying the role that model sulfur-containing molecules have in corrosion reactions on relevant metallurgies. This was done by using a design of experiments where a number of sulfur-based compounds were reacted with various metallurgies. The 8 model sulfur compounds...
