The Petrochemical industry has refined technological
developments to improve product quality. One, in
particular, is the ability to measure trace impurities at
extremely low levels. This is a crucial step for the
industry to reduce agents that can eventually cause
pollution as they can cause harmful health and
environmental effects. In addition, it is essential for
the industry to reduce agents that can eventually cause catalyst poisoning and corrosion in
the metal structures where processes are being held. Indeed, companies need to protect their
expensive catalysts used in the chemical reactions performed during the cracking,
isomerisation, reforming and many other processes. This article explains how the tape
detection technique saves catalysts used in different industrial processes.

Introduction to dry colorimetric method
Since the creation of oil refining, a variety of treatment methods have been used to remove
non-hydrocarbon impurities and other constituents. These compounds reduce the efficiency of
the conversion processes and reduce the quality of the finished products. It is necessary to
remove impurities from blending stocks in several processes such as treatment, drying and
sweetening. There are many analytical methods used in industrial settings for the quantitative
analysis of impurities, but not all are efficient and cost effective. Companies need methods that
are fast, precise, versatile and virtually interference-free. One technique that fulfills these
demands is the dry colorimetric method. This technique can measure at ultra-low detection
ranges from parts per million (ppm), to parts per billion (ppb). In addition to meeting ultra-lowlevels, it is considered safe and non-toxic. For the user, simple care as you would for household
cleaners would suffice. The dry colorimetric method is a simple and easy way to measure
