Water soluble corrosion inhibitors help solve internal corrosion problems

The efficiency of oil-soluble, oil soluble-water dispersible, and water soluble corrosion inhibitors in protecting pipelines carrying both crude oil and water was tested for both sweet and sour crude. The tabulated results indicate that an oil soluble-water dispersible inhibitor is suitable for small diameter pipes that transport fluids at high velocities. However for large diameter pipes a water soluble inhibitor should be used. The water soluble inhibitor is as effective as the oil soluble-water dispersible inhibitor in protection against hydrogen embrittlement. (JSR)
