(OP)
How and what kind of chemical injection is done in refineries? Is the amount added measured? What are the problems with chemical addition systems?
Thank you in advance!

Chemicals include corrosion inhibitors, anti-foam additives etc. Often the flow rate is small and set by a PD pump instead of measured. However, Coriolis meters also measure injection rates and totals.

I haven't worked on boilers or cooling towers much so any information there will be an education for me.
