Abstract
The aim of this work is to describe and analyze fouling, corrosion and cleaning at units of oil refining and petrochemical industry, including cooling water utilities. Fouling is severely connected with corrosion. Organic, inorganic, preoperational, process-side, water-side, and fire-side fouling are described. The reasons and problems arising from fouling, its mechanism, control methods of fouling in organic and cooling water systems are analyzed. Cleaning mechanical and chemical procedure, preoperational cleaning and passivation, safety, environmental and general recommendations for implementation of cleaning are presented. Basic provisions of this work are given in the book “Corrosion Problems and Solution in Oil Refining and Petrochemical Industry” published by Springer in 2016.
