Summary of Guide4.1 Inhibitor evaluation in the laboratory consists of twosteps (1) evaluation of inhibitor efficiency and (2) evaluation ofsecondary in

29、hibitor properties.4.2 Four laboratory methodologies, flow loop, rotating cyl-inder electrode (RCE), rotating cage (RC), and jet impinge-ment (JI) are available to evaluate the inhibitor efficiency in thelaboratory. All four methodologies can be operated at atmo-spheric and high pressure conditions.

30、 The corrosion rates canbe measured using mass loss or electrochemical methods.Using the methodologies, several variables, compositions ofmaterial, composition of environment (gas and liquid),temperature, pressure, and flow, that influence the corrosionrate in the field can be simulated in the labor

31、atory. Rotatingcylinder electrode (RCE), rotating cage (RC), and jet impinge-ment (JI) methodologies are compact, inexpensive, hydrody-namically characterized, and scalable; that is, can be carriedout at various flow conditions.4.3 Several secondary properties of the inhibitor are evalu-ated before

32、the inhibitor is applied in the field. They arewater/oil partitioning, solubility, emulsification tendency, foamtendency, thermal stability, toxicity, and compatibility withother additives/materials. Laboratory methods to evaluate thesecondary properties are described.5. Significance and Use5.1 Corr

33、osion inhibitors continue to play a key role incontrolling internal corrosion associated with oil and gasproduction and transportation. This results primarily from theindustrys extensive use of carbon and low alloy steels, which,for many applications, are economic materials of constructionthat gener

34、ally exhibit poor corrosion resistance. As aconsequence, there is a strong reliance on inhibitor deploymentG170 06 (2012)2for achieving cost-effective corrosion control, especially fortreating long flowlines and main export pipelines (1).65.2 For multiphase flow, the aqueous-oil-gas interphases cant

35、ake any of an infinite number of possible forms. These formsare delineated into certain classes of interfacial distributioncalled flow regimes. The flow regimes depend on the inclina-tion of the pipe (that is, vertical or horizontal), flow rate (basedon production rate), and flow direction (that is,

36、 upward ordownward). The common flow regimes in vertical upwardflow, vertical downward flow, and horizontal flow are pre-sented in Figs. 1-3 respectively (2, 3).5.3 Depending on the flow regime, the pipe may undergovarious forms of corrosion, including general, localized, flow-induced, and erosion-c

37、orrosion. One of the predominant failuremechanisms of multiphase systems is pitting corrosion.5.4 The performance of a corrosion inhibitor is influencedprimarily by the nature of inhibitor, operating conditions of asystem, and the method by which it is added. Two types ofinhibitors are used in the o

38、il field, continuous and batch.Water-soluble and oil-soluble, water-dispersible inhibitors areadded continuously. Oil-soluble inhibitors are, in general,batch treated. The test methods to evaluate the inhibitors for aparticular field should be carried so that the operating condi-tions of the system

39、are simulated. Thus during the evaluation ofa corrosion inhibitor, an important first step is to identify thefield conditions under which the inhibitor is intended to beused. The environmental conditions in the field locations willdictate the laboratory conditions under which testing is carriedout.5

40、.5 Various parameters that influence corrosion rates, andhence, inhibitor performance in a given system are (1) com-position of material (2) composition of gas and liquid (3)temperature (4) flow and (5) pressure.5.5.1 In order for a test method to be relevant to a particularsystem, it should be poss

41、ible to control the combined effects of6The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.NOTE 1Gand Lare gas and liquid densities and ULand UGare superficial velocities or the volume of flow rates of the liquid and gas per unitcross-sectional area of the

Atest method is considered to be predictive if it can generateinformation regarding type of corrosion, gene

43、ral and localizedcorrosion rates, nature of inhibition, and life of inhibitor film(or adsorbed layer). Rather than try to perfectly reproduce allthe field conditions, a more practical approach is to identify thecritical factors that determine/impact inhibitor performanceand then design experiments i

44、n a way which best evaluatesthese factors.5.6 Composition of material, composition of gas and liquid(oil and water), temperature, and pressure are direct variables.Simulation of them in the laboratory is direct. Laboratoryexperiments are carried out at the temperature of the field usingcoupons or el

45、ectrodes made out of the field material (forexample, carbon steel). The effect of pressure is simulated byusing a gas mixture with a composition similar to the field foratmospheric experiments and by using partial pressures similarto those in the field for high pressure experiments.5.7 In multiphase

46、 systems there are three phases, oil, aque-ous (brine water), and gas. Corrosion occurs at places wherethe aqueous phase contacts the material (for example, steel).The corrosivity of the aqueous phase is influenced by thecomposition and the concentration of dissolved gases (forexample, H2S and CO2).

47、 In evaluating corrosion inhibitors inthe laboratory, aqueous phase is usually used with a positivepressure of gas mixture to simulate the gaseous phase. The oilmay have a major effect on the corrosion rate and inhibitorefficiency. The presence of oil phase in the test environmentcan have significan

48、tly different effects (4). The primary effectof the oil phase is apparently on the protectiveness of thecorrosion inhibitor. The oil phase may have the followingeffects: (1) partitioning of inhibitor between phases (2) chang-ing the contact time of the aqueous phase on the pipe (3)changing the wetti

49、ng behaviour of the pipe surface (4) intro-ducing protective compounds that are naturally occurring in theoil.5.7.1 Inhibitor evaluation in the absence of the oil phasecannot give an accurate picture of the behaviour of steel inmultiphase environments. Ideally, the oil phase should bepresent when testing the inhibitor in the laboratory.5.8 Flow is an indirect variable, and simulation of flow inthe laboratory is not direct. For this reason, the hydrodynamicflow parameters are determined, and then the laboratorycorrosion tests are conducted under the
