“…At temperatures ranging from 250 °C to 450 °C, corrosion is often likely to occur in the faster area of the crude distillation unit. Figure (3) shown how these extremely acidic salts may develop a coating on the surface of the crude distillation unit, one of the numerous ways in which corrosion might manifest itself in this apparatus [22].…”

“…Certain situations increase the risk of corrosion in refineries, which may lead to catastrophic occurrences that block oil flow and have long-lasting effects on staffs, the situation, and the business line [1] [2]. Corrosion is an important issue that touches the majority of sectors globally, wreaking havoc on the global economy if left unaddressed [3]. In 2013, the financial losses resulting from corrosion operations and maintenance procedures were between (4 -5%) of the benefits of global oil output [4].…”

Due to the international economic growth reliance on petroleum, corrosion is a critical problem for refineries and it has attracted considerable attention in recent times. There is a plethora of knowledge on the prevention of corrosion in petroleum refineries, but it is distributed among several scholarly studies. Therefore, a comprehensive and current analysis of corrosion prevention in refineries is required. Corrosion issues at several refinery units are examined in this paper. In addition, the foundations of the corrosion issue and modern mitigation techniques, like refinery design, cathode safeguard, inhibitors, and covering protection, were investigated. Study concludes by pointing out knowledge gaps, collecting adequate data on refinery facility corrosion, and offering suggestions for future studies.
