What is a pipeline corrosion inhibitor?

What is a pipeline corrosion inhibitor?

A pipeline corrosion inhibitor is a chemical compound that halts or slows down the corrosion process in a pipeline. The inhibitor works by reacting with the fluid in the pipe, making it more inert and less likely to corrode the piping.

What is the most commonly used corrosion inhibitor in petroleum industry?

The most commonly used type of corrosion inhibitor for oil and gas production is the film-forming amine molecules and their salts. These inhibitors allowed production from otherwise highly corrosive primary production oil wells and gas wells and from secondary-recovery wells that use waterflooding.

How do you protect corrosion from pipelines?

Pipeline coatings, including paints and epoxies, are the primary way to protect a pipeline from chemical corrosion. Coatings can be applied at the factory or painted on pipe in the field as a sealant. Fusion-bonded epoxies (FBE) are one of the most commonly applied coatings for underground steel pipe.

What are the methods of prevention of pipe corrosion?

Here are five ways to fight off corrosion:

• For Pipes, Watch Your Water. Water is a major corrosion causer.
• Keep Pipes Clean. Microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) happens when metals are exposed to corrosive bacteria.
• Add Protection to All Metals.
• Keep Structures Stable.
• Protect Against Metal-to-Metal Contact.
