Ameitiq & Omar M. Aldenali University of Benghazi/Libya Abstract- This study aims to investigate the influence of a number of related parameters namely temperature, pressure, flow rate and pH on the corrosion penetration rate (CPR) of crude oil transportation process by pipelines. It intends the mathematical model of these parameters as independent variables with corrosion penetration rate as a dependent variable. The model was used to establish the best values of these parameters using the response surface methodology. Aspen HYSYS software was utilized to simulate the experiments and to calculate the corrosion penetration rate for each experiment. The experiments designed based on the central composite experimental design (CCD) using Minitab 17 software. The mean absolute percentage error was used to determine the conformance of the developed mathematical model. Its value was 0.02%, this indicates that the developed mathematical model was consistent. Keywords: corrosion penetration rate (CPR), aspen hysys, response surface methodology (RSM), modeling, optimization.
