Crude Unit Feedstock Pretreatment

A comprehensive offering built on innovative chemicals and proprietary digital technology can help improve the quality of crude charge into the desalter and reduce fouling and corrosion in the refining process.

With decades of experience, we offer pretreatment products that complement our desalter management program to improve your crude unit’s overall performance.

Our Crude Unit Feedstock Pretreatment program helps manage filterable solids, BS&W content, and asphaltene-related issues to improve desalter performance and minimize impact on the wastewater treatment plant. The program helps maximize profit by reducing fouling and corrosion, preventing oil under carry and reducing the Total Cost of Operation (TCO).
