Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) in Refining & Petrochemical
ORP in Refining & Petrochemical
The petrochemical and refining industries utilize water as a critical component. Monitoring and controlling oxidation-reduction potential (ORP or REDOX) throughout multiple stages of the production process is essential.
In the petrochemical process, ORP is measured both upstream and downstream. Upstream applications include fracking, drilling, and exploratory operations. Downstream applications include wet gas scrubber, merox (mercaptan removal), and wastewater generated within the plant. In refining, where fuel, lubricants, and other distillate end products are generated, and with an understanding of the measured process sample matrix, ORP measurements can be an effective way for monitoring specific chemicals in a process environment. Sour water stripping, cracker scrubbers, and corrosion control in piping systems are examples where ORP measurement is used for monitoring and control.
