October 11, 2016 – Dorf Ketal presents at the Opportunity Crude Conference in Houston a new desalter chemistry to help refiners improve refining margins. Dorf Ketal has invented a new class of desalter chemistry called “reactive adjunct chemistry” that offers step change improvements in desalting efficiency and amine removal.

For refiners that are desalting limited in selection of economically advantaged crudes or who are considering capital investment to expand desalting capacity, this new technology offers a low cost way of expanding desalting capacity and reducing risk of overhead corrosion problems caused by the presence of tramp amines.
