Refinery Treatment Products
Hydrocarbon processing technology and solutions
Shedu has many product lines to solve customer problems within the hydrocarbon processing industry including antifoulants, corrosion inhibitors, finished product additives, and H2S scavengers.
In addition, a complementary product portfolio is available when needed, include crude stabilizers, pH modifiers, amine unit treatment, equipment cleaning and more. A thorough analysis of the customers’ specific issues dictate which product or products are applied for the most cost effective and efficient solution.
Treat and minimize fouling throughout your refinery process with Shedu’s antifoulant chemicals
Process equipment fouling in refineries is an ongoing, tenacious, and extremely costly problem. Severe economic and operational penalties related to fouling include inefficient heat transfer, corrosion, reduced reliability and processing flexibility, excessive maintenance requirements, throughput limitations, equipment damage, and significant safety and environmental concerns.
Benefits of antifoulant chemical treatment
The benefits of Shedu’s antifoulant chemical solutions include:
• Maximized throughput and increased production
• Improved product quality
• Improved overall equipment reliability
• Reduced equipment cleaning and replacement costs
• Lowered overall energy costs
• Lowered waste disposal costs
• Improved worker safety and environmental concerns
Maximize oil-water-solids-gas separation and enhance contaminant removal from hydrocarbon streams
There are many instances where liquids, solids, and gases mix within a refinery. In some of these processes, the tank or process vessel benefits from chemical assistance to separate the liquid, solid or gas phases. The most common applications where chemicals can assist with phase separation are raw crude tanks, desalters, FCC rundown tanks, recovered oil/slop tanks, and coke drums.
Benefits demulsifying treatment
Shedu’s has several types of demulsifiers designed to maximize desalter performance. Some features and benefits include:
• Maximize throughput and increase production through improved dehydration
• Improve product quality and operational reliability by maximizing salt removal and increasing amine extraction
• Lower overall cost and energy consumption through improved dehydration and solids removal
• Improve environmental, health, and safety regulatory compliance by minimizing the oil in the effluent brine
• Reduce catalyst poisoning by extracting metals
• Improve refiner’s flexibility with processing low cost incompatible opportunity crude blends
Minimize H2S levels to increase worker safety and reduce odors
Hydrogen sulfide H2S is a colorless, flammable, and toxic gas prevalent in the hydrocarbon processing industry. H2S scavengers are widely used in hydrocarbon processing facilities to maintain plant worker’s safety and productivity and eliminate their odor emissions. These specialized chemicals react selectively with and remove H2S to help meet product and process specifications.
Shedu’s hydrogen sulfide scavenger’s portfolio of products is specially designed to be a cost-effective solution for a broad range of operating conditions and product compositions.
Benefits of hydrogen sulfide treatment
Shedu’s ProSweet hydrogen sulfide treatment and odor control products, used together with an in-depth system audit and engineering application and operational recommendations, will provide one or more of the following benefits:
• Control of sulfides and nuisance odors
• Improvement ambient air compliance to H2S and nuisance odor criteria
• Elimination of unpleasant and unsafe work environment associated with hydrogen sulfide
• Improvement of environmental image and public relations with surrounding communities
• Maintenance of equipment integrity and prevention of corrosion-related maintenance costs due to H2S-influenced corrosion
• Control of odors without creating additional sludge in systems being treated
• Availability of technical and engineering support to provide operating and monitoring recommendations that complement chemical solutions for an overall cost-effective and robust solution
Prevent unplanned downtime and lost profit with Shedu’s corrosion inhibitors
Having the right corrosion control program in place is critical for preventing corrosion damage in process equipment. Shedu’s corrosion control programs coupled with a suite of state-of-the-art digital tools and applications expertise provide a complete solution for the management of corrosion and asset integrity in refineries.
Our corrosion control programs are comprised of a broad range of corrosion inhibitors which include neutralizing amines, filmers, and Haphthenic (NAP) acid inhibitors. These products help prevent costly damage due to galvanic or two-metal corrosion, under deposit corrosion, pitting, intergranular corrosion, and stress corrosion.
Benefits of corrosion control management
Shedu’s portfolio of corrosion control programs are designed to provide the following features and benefits:
• Reduce equipment cleaning and replacement cost
• Maximize throughput and increase production
• Improve product quality and operational reliability
• Lower overall cost and energy consumption
• Lower waste disposal
• Improve worker safety and compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations
• Increase profit resulting from higher ash removal efficiency
Integrated Solutions for Refining
Delivering operational calm to the refining industry
Refiners are expected to run a safe and reliable operation, but also need to maintain a competitive edge. Taking advantage of market changes and the various opportunity of crude oils available in the market today, responding to shifting market demands for their products, and adopting technology advances enables profitable operation while complying with increasingly tight regulations. This can be a complex balancing act for refiners and Shedu is up to the challenge to help.
