Corrosion Protection in Oil Systems with Water Ingress by Use of Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI)

Volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI) are commonly used in various oil systems to prevent corrosion during preservation and in intermittent operation. However water ingress still introduces risk of corrosion when water separates and pools at the bottom of these systems. Traditional corrosion inhibitors used in lubricating oils provide good corrosion protection in the oil-phase but cannot offer protection beneath the oil-water phase line due to their typical hydrophobic nature. It has been determined that the use of proper organic VCIs (which also offer protection in the vapor phase and oil phase) can partition into the water phase and provide additional corrosion protection even in the case of water contamination.
