The present invention relates to the field of processing hydrocarbons which causes corrosion in the metal surfaces of processing units. The invention addresses the technical problem of high temperature naphthenic acid corrosion and sulphur corrosion and provides a solution to inhibit these types of corrosion. The three combination compositions are formed by two mixtures separately, with one mixture obtained by mixing compound A, which is obtained by reacting high reactive polyisobutylene (HRPIB) with phosphorous pentasulphide in presence of catalytic amount of sulphur with compound B which is thiophosphorous compound such as phosphorous thioacid ester of Formula (1) and second mixture obtained by mixing compound A with compound C of Formula (2) which is obtained by reacting compound B with ethylene oxide, wherein each of these two mixtures independently provide high corrosion inhibition efficiency in case of high temperature naphthenic acid corrosion inhibition and sulphur corrosion inhibition. The invention is useful in all hydrocarbon processing units, such as, refineries, distillation columns and other petrochemical industries.

Abstract:
A method for mitigating fouling in a wash unit used in a hydrocarbon cracking process wherein the fouling is due to the presence of polymers and deposits thereof formed by condensation of carbonyl compounds contained within a feed stream of the wash unit. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of mitigating fouling in a wash unit by introducing into the feed stream an effective amount of an additive including: an inorganic salt of dithionite; and an epsilon caprolactam or a 6-amino caproic acid derivable therefrom. The additive scavenges the carbonyl compounds contained within the feed stream and dissolves deposits of the polymers to thereby mitigate fouling in the wash unit.
