Anonymous Coward User ID: 77743250 United States 06/24/2019 09:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The salty tears of the earth [ link to nationalpost.com (secure)] Back in April, unusually high levels of the chemicals known as organic chlorides were discovered in Russian crude flowing through the giant Druzhba pipeline, built in the 1960s to carry crude from the U.S.S.R. to allied countries in Eastern Europe. The chlorides can severely damage oil refineries and on April 24 Russia’s state pipeline operator, Transneft PJSC, halted shipments. Moscow pledged to resolve the issue right away; four weeks later, the flow of Russian oil into Europe is little more than a trickle.Organic Whut? A series of sudden tube leaks in four first-stage overhead exchangers of a crude tower of a major Gulf Coast refinery was attributed to repeated contamination of the crude charge with organic chlorides.ttps://www.onepetro.org/conference-paper/NACE-00694 |
