Think XOM used to not treat thier overhead system against corrosion with caustic wash – and usually during their 3 year turnarounds they just replaced top part of towers (Billings refinery is so small compared to scale of other XOM plants that they almost seemed treat it like R&D pilot plant) but thought they changed that practice several years ago?
