To avoid these pitfalls, refineries and terminals throughout the world have adopted ASTM D4929C and have implemented a test frequency of every four hours. ASTM D4929C uses XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) to measure the levels of chlorine content in crude, and is a fast, easy, and precise process compared to alternate methods.

Read XOS' whitepaper to learn about a viable solution that allows refineries to obtain organic chloride concentrations in crude oil with increased precision and efficiency.
