Due to their discounted value but chance to produce higher production rates, refineries are turning to accept more of high acidic crude feedstock, otherwise referred to as opportunity or challenging crude oils. Refining these resources is still on an increase due to high oil prices, with China dominating this market and doubling their production of high acid crudes by 2015. Processing these resources can significantly increase any refinery's productivity, but knowledge and proper effective training for the refinery manager and crude supplier is the key to reducing a lot of the risk that is commonly associated with high acid feedstocks while still maintaining clean production standards. High Acid Crudes quickly gets the refinery manager and all other relative personnel up to date on this particular type of feedstock by providing an overview with some degree of detail of the identification of high acid crudes and their influence on the refinery's process units, especially in regards to corrosion potential. Covering the types, effects on the various refining units, and proper acid stripping techniques, High Acid Crudes effectively trains the refinery personnel with a quick reference guide for day-to-day use in today's refinery.
