Solving HF-Induced Corrosion in Pressure Transmitters: Isolation Tank + Methyl Silicone Oil Boosts Lifetime from 3 to 300 Days

📌 Background In a 200,000-ton/year Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) production unit, pressure transmitters located at the fractionation tower outlet were frequently failing due to severe corrosion. The process medium contained high-temperature, moist hydrofluoric acid (HF), which quickly attacked the Monel diaphragm of the pressure transmitters. On average, the transmitters lasted only 2–3 days before showing drifting
