JSC KazTransOil is taking a further strategic step toward digital transformation and enhanced technological safety. The Company is among the first pipeline operators in neighboring countries — with similar technology currently deployed in China — to initiate the implementation of an in-line chloride salt analyzer for crude oil, enabling continuous, real-time quality monitoring.

Chloride salts are among the most critical crude oil quality parameters. Elevated salt content accelerates corrosion of equipment and pipelines, leads to deposit formation, and may disrupt refining processes at oil refineries. The new approach enables immediate detection of deviations without waiting for laboratory test results.

The introduction of an automated online salt concentration monitoring system will not only enhance the operational reliability of the pipeline network but also significantly reduce human-factor risks, ensuring consistent compliance with regulatory quality standards.
