Our team’s in-depth software knowledge can be used to help set up models to simulate the behavior of complex chemical systems, which can help operators optimize production processes and identify potential problems.
Water treatment
OLI Systems provides consulting services related to water treatment in the oil and gas industry. This includes helping operators design and optimize water treatment systems, as well as developing strategies for managing wastewater.
Materials selection
In the oil and gas industry, selecting the right materials is crucial for preventing corrosion and scaling in production systems. OLI Systems offers consulting services to help refiners choose the most suitable materials that can withstand harsh environments and maintain their integrity over time.
Asset integrity management
This service includes risk-based inspection and maintenance strategies, as well as fit-for-service assessments for aging equipment. Our consultants use operating envelopes and apply corrosion exposure modeling to develop Integrity Operating Windows (IOWs) that that provide reliable and safe operating envelopes.
Training and support
OLI Systems provides training and support to help refiners effectively use their software and optimize their refining units (or processes). OLI Systems' expertise in refinery consulting centers around the use of software and data analysis to help refiners optimize their production processes, minimize downtime, and improve the overall efficiency and profitability of their operations.

CASE STUDY
Mitigating corrosion in refining operations a holistic approach
OLI Systems has a proven reputation in the global Oil & Gas and Chemicals sectors for helping companies overcome the challenges of corrosion. With comprehensive water chemistry expertise, OLI Systems enables customers to simulate process conditions with extreme accuracy to identify and predict at-risk areas for corrosion and other issues. In this study, a Product Application Engineer at CHIMEC S.p.A, enlisted OLI Systems’ electrolyte chemistry analysis capabilities as a part of the risk-based assessment to treat and prevent salt deposition and mitigate corrosion risk in Crude Oil refining and upgrading applications.
CONSULTING | IN FOCUS
Crude unit overhead corrosion mitigation
We use advanced modeling tools and techniques to analyze and optimize overhead chemistry, neutralizing amine selection and wash water optimization to help refineries avoid and mitigate corrosion issues.
Our crude unit overhead health check provides insight into your overhead system’s exposure to corrosion. We analyze the neutralizing amine in use and its compatibility with the system to determine its effectiveness in preventing corrosion and maintaining the boot water pH (control point for overhead corrosion chemistry injection). We also assess if the chemicals recommended by your provider is creating salt point corrosion problems. Based on our analysis, we provide recommendations on corrosion mitigation and system performance to solve issues.
Our crude unit overhead corrosion mitigation service is a detailed consulting engagement that models the overhead chemistry to assess exposure to corrosion under different operating envelopes. We focus on the root cause of corrosion in the overhead under different operations such as high to low throughput and varying levels of contaminants. We identify the ideal location to inject water and dilute the salts that may form to mitigate corrosion. Our experts also analyze and optimize the wash water flow rate and identify the best neutralizing amine selection criteria to ensure safe and reliable operations.
