BARTEC Salt in Crude Analyzer Model P-600
Product Overview
The BARTEC P-600 Salt in Crude Analyzer is an online process analyzer that measures the amount of chloride-based salts in crude oil, expressed as weight per volume. Accurate salt measurement is essential for optimizing desalter operation and protecting refinery equipment from corrosion and fouling.
The analyzer covers a measuring range of up to 0-400 PTB (pounds per thousand barrels, equivalent to 0-1000 mg/L). It is fully automatic, uses micro samples with low solvent consumption, and features measuring cell temperature control for stable and repeatable results. The method correlates with ASTM D3230, the standard test method for salts in crude oil.

Applications
The P-600 is used in refineries and crude oil processing facilities to monitor salt content before and after desalting, enabling operators to use de-salters as efficiently as possible and ensuring crude quality for transport and refining.
Ordering and Selection
When ordering the BARTEC salt in crude analyzer, confirm the measuring range, sample system and communication interface, because each BARTEC salt in crude analyzer is configured for a specific refinery duty. The BARTEC P-600 salt in crude analyzer measures 0-400 PTB and correlates with ASTM D3230, and the selected salt in crude analyzer must be matched to the crude oil quality and desalter operation at your plant. Our team can help you confirm that the BARTEC salt in crude analyzer you select is correct for your application.

Specifying a P-600 for Your Desalter
A salt-in-crude analyser only helps desalter control if it sees a representative sample and its results line up with the laboratory. When preparing an enquiry, it is worth collecting:
- the sample point (desalter inlet, outlet or both) and the expected salt range at each;
- crude type, API gravity range, water cut and temperature at the tap;
- area classification and whether the analyser will sit in a shelter or an existing analyser house;
- the control system interface required, such as Modbus to the DCS, and any remote standby needs;
- the laboratory method currently used, so correlation to ASTM D3230 results can be planned.
Installation and Commissioning
Keep the sample line from the tap to the analyser short and at a steady temperature, with a fast loop so the analyser is not measuring stale crude. Filtration and flow control in the sample system should be sized for waxy or heavy crudes where relevant. Solvent storage needs ventilation and safe access for refilling. During commissioning, run the analyser alongside laboratory samples taken at the same time and location for a period long enough to build a reliable correlation before the online value is used for control.
Operation and Maintenance
- Monitor solvent levels and plan refills so the analyser never runs dry.
- Clean the measuring cell and check sample filters at the intervals given in the BARTEC manual; build-up on the cell is the usual cause of creeping readings.
- Compare analyser values with regular laboratory checks and investigate any sustained offset rather than adjusting blindly.
- Keep a stock of consumables and wear parts, especially before planned shutdowns.
Troubleshooting Pointers
Erratic results often come from the sample rather than the analyser: free water slugs, poor mixing at the tap or blocked filters. A step change after maintenance usually points to cell condition, solvent quality or calibration. Communication faults with the DCS are best checked at the Modbus settings and wiring before replacing electronics.
Applications in Oman and the GCC
Refineries and crude processing facilities in the region handle a mix of local and imported crudes with varying salt content. Online measurement before and after the desalter helps operators adjust wash water and demulsifier dosing and protect crude unit overhead systems from chloride corrosion.

The electrical side is represented by the GUB flameproof Ex d IIC enclosure and the 07-1511 series insert switch, a component used inside control stations. The Agile X IS is a tablet PC for Zone 1, and the EXguard is a mobile gas detection system for hot work.Where BARTEC equipment is used
Moisture and hydrocarbon dew-point analyzers monitor natural gas at dehydration units, pipeline entry points and custody stations. Vapor pressure and salt in crude analyzers serve refinery blending and crude treatment. Flameproof enclosures and Ex switches go into local control stations, junction boxes and motor starters. Ex tablets are used for inspection rounds and work permits on GCC oil and gas sites.Ordering BARTEC parts: what we need
BARTEC identifies products by a type number, such as 07-1511-154D/02 or 5674-xx. Send that number in full with the serial number from the label. For analyzers we also need the gas or liquid composition, pressure and temperature at the sample point, the measuring span, the area classification and the signal outputs. For enclosures give the size, the required gas group and temperature class, and the cable entry schedule.Browse BARTEC products by category: Gas Analyzer Systems, Fire & Gas Detector, Liquid Analytical Systems, Industrial Computer, Automation Accessories.
