As a result, some units will perform better than expected, while others will not meet their design requirements, causing a potential shortfall in the production of ULSD.
New field-proven automated electrochemical monitoring technology provides a means for evaluating corrosion and pitting in petroleum piping, making corrosion a real-time process variable.
