Treatment of acidic petroleum crude oil utilizing catalytic neutralization technique of magnesium oxide catalyst

The presence of naphthenic acids in crude oils has caused a major corrosion problem to the production equipment, storage and transport facilities in the petroleum industry. The level of acidity of crude oil was determined by the value of Total Acid Number (TAN) in the oil samples. Two types of crude...
