“…The refinery's crude oil distillation unit processes crude oil by breaking it down into useful product fractions. The most important components for the distillation systems in the oil refinery are pre-flashed drums, heat exchanger systems and atmospheric distillation units [21]. Hydrogen sulphide may damage the tower and condenser if dissolved in the aqueous condensation from the top refluxed barrels of the main fractionation column and water from the vacuum distillation unit.…”

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.

“…For example, Abdul‐Wahab et al [ 22 ] have applied an FES as a real‐time troubleshooting tool in the complex brine heater problem. Similarly, Zahedi et al [ 23 ] have implemented an FES for troubleshooting purposes in crude oil desalination plants. Chuk et al [ 24 ] have used an FES to monitor the ratio of concentrated froth solid‐to‐liquids in the float column.…”

In this paper, a troubleshooting technique is developed to provide a sequence of necessary actions during deodorizer unit failure in a palm oil refinery. This paper introduces a fuzzy expert system that incorporates the knowledge of experienced plant workers in dealing with the complex problems of the palm oil deodorizer. The presented methodology uses both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data are collected from several interview sessions with the technical staff in a palm oil refinery. Quantitative data are gathered from various sources, such as control and monitoring systems. The qualitative data are analyzed to discover the possible pattern of faults in the deodorizer failure. This tool can diagnose possible faults and provide a sequence of necessary actions when deodorizer failure occurs. The obtained results show the developed deodorizer troubleshooting tool is useful to guide plant workers/ operators in diagnosing the possible faults and abnormalities during the troubleshooting process, as well as to provide field training for inexperienced staff.
