At Dorf Ketal, we understand the evolving challenges faced by today\u2019s refiners. Over the past few decades, crude oil refining has shifted dramatically. Rising crude prices, increasing legislative demands for cleaner fuels, and stringent air and effluent quality regulations have forced refineries to adapt. Many have turned to processing opportunity crudes to reduce costs, but this strategy often stresses downstream processes, creating new problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Innovative Solutions for Refining Challenges<\/b><\/p>\n

Refining old technologies to address new problems no longer suffices. That is why Dorf Ketal has developed a portfolio of patented, proprietary solutions specifically designed to tackle modern refinery issues, including:<\/p>\n

<\/span>Desalting Performance<\/b><\/p>\n

Optimized solutions for poor desalter performance caused by changing crude slates.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Inorganic and Organic Metals<\/b><\/p>\n

Addressing the challenges posed by iron, calcium naphthenate, and other metals in crudes.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Emulsion and Fouling Issues<\/b><\/p>\n

New solutions for problems caused by shale oils.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Corrosion and Salting<\/b><\/p>\n

Effective management of ammonia, amines, and high naphthenic acid feeds, reducing corrosion and salting issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Heat Exchanger Fouling<\/b><\/p>\n

Solving fouling issues that lead to incremental firing, lost throughput, and unscheduled downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Coking and Fouling<\/b><\/p>\n

Addressing fouling and coking in bottom-of-the-barrel units such as Cokers and Visbreakers, enhancing liquid yields.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Global Reach” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”d54f620c-c0b4-47e7-b269-c9c97d3b6b64″ body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_link_font=”Lato||||||||” body_ul_font=”Lato||||||||” body_ol_font=”Lato||||||||” body_quote_font=”Lato||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font=”Lato|700|||||||” closed_toggle_font=”Lato||||||||” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Dorf Ketal partners with refineries around the world, providing tailored solutions that adapt to the evolving complexities of crude oil processing. From North America to Asia and beyond, we survey each refinery\u2019s processes in depth to identify contributors to problems, perform lab simulations, and verify results before recommending the ideal solution. Our proprietary chemistries and predictive performance services help refineries operate at the highest margins while ensuring reliability and adaptability to emerging profit improvement opportunities.<\/p>\n
