2. Description of the Related Art Oil refining in an oil refining plant is carried out by first distilling crude oil in an atmospheric distillation column to obtain each fraction having an appropriate boiling range, that is, LPG, light naphtha, heavy naphtha, kerosene, light oil, and residue. Divided into oil, and then treated in processes such as catalytic reforming, catalytic cracking, hydrodesulfurization, distillation under reduced pressure, and gas recovery equipment to produce various petroleum products.

Distillates having a relatively low boiling point (generally LPG, light naphtha, and heavy naphtha) and water (accumulator water) flow in the top of the atmospheric distillation column or in the overhead piping. ing. At this time, hydrogen chloride generated by partial decomposition of salts and the like contained in crude oil, further hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide gas are simultaneously distilled out at the top of the column and dissolved in water condensed here to make the water acidic. For this reason, it is necessary to take measures to prevent corrosion in the flow path piping of the distillation column top system, etc. In general, ammonia or amine-based neutralizers are added to neutralize the acid and prevent film-forming corrosion. This is achieved by injecting the agent.

In particular, the injection of the neutralizing agent depends on the pH of the overhead fluid.
Is important to protect the metal of the equipment from acid corrosion and to facilitate and stabilize the formation of the iron sulfide coating and the anticorrosion coating with the coating anticorrosive agent. However, excessive injection of such a neutralizing agent, on the contrary, destabilizes the iron sulfide coating, the anticorrosive coating of the film-forming anticorrosive, and deteriorates the subsequent separation of hydrocarbon and water, resulting in a hydrocarbon product. This will cause an adverse effect of deteriorating the quality.

In order to inject such a neutralizing agent, conventionally, an operator generally measures the pH of accumulator water and carries out the injection operation with reference to the measured value.
By the way, in the neutralization curve of the acid component in the accumulator water and the neutralizing agent, the pH greatly changes at the equivalence point, and a slight excess or deficiency of the neutralizing agent causes a shift to acid or alkali. The appropriate range of injection volume is extremely narrow. Therefore, in the conventional injection of the neutralizing agent based on the pH measurement by the operator, it was extremely difficult to stably maintain the pH in the overhead system of the distillation column within an appropriate range.

That is, the crude oil that enters the atmospheric distillation column has certain properties such as different properties depending on the type of crude oil, salt handling in the crude oil, and the salt content in the oil depending on the degree of desalting in the previous stage. Is virtually impossible to keep. As a result, the amounts of hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide gas that emerge in the overhead system of the distillation column change, and the required amount of the neutralizing agent also changes accordingly. However, in the case of a fixed amount of injection that was simply set as in the past, an injection based on measurement by an operator, and an injection that only relied on experience, the pH in the distillation column overhead system was stabilized in an appropriate range. It was difficult to maintain.

Further, when the operator determines and operates the injection amount from the pH measurement of the accumulator water as in the conventional case, there is a time lag between the pH of the fluid flowing in the overhead system and the injection of the neutralizing agent. In addition, the injection operation of the infusate is behind,
There was also the problem that the processing of the entire system was unstable.
