Description:

Recent research and investigations have implied a “disconnect” between the corrosivity of western Canadian bitumen and traditional TAN – corrosion models. The CAPP – AERI TAN study uses a step by step research approach, leveraged on the independent research initiatives of CanmetENERGY, to relate organic acid structure and corrosion rates on mild steel, chrome steel and 316 austenitic stainless, in both liquid and vapor phases, using a corrosion test unit that simulates vacuum distillation conditions. This study begins with Athabasca bitumen and progresses through to commercial bitumen blends and representative international high acid crudes. All commercial crudes and extracted naphthenic acids have been “blinded” until the test work is complete to remove any regional bias. All work conducted is intended for general publication and use. This paper and presentation provides information on progress paths and results of the study.
