Effect Of Hydrophobic Interaction On Corrosion Inhibitor Efficiency

Picture for Effect Of Hydrophobic Interaction On Corrosion Inhibitor Efficiency
Available for download

Corrosion inhibitors are used to prevent pipeline corrosion in oil and gas industry. The evaluation of corrosion inhibitors is one of the most important tasks for the corrosion engineers. Corrosion of the metal is suppressed by the inhibitor adsorption on the metal surface. Active ingredients of corrosion inhibitors are, in general, surfactants. A surfactant can adsorb on the internal metal surface of piping and makes a hydrophobic film preventing the contact of water with the metal surface.

Surfactants are well known as an active ingredient of corrosion inhibitors; however, the molecular structure and its content of commercial inhibitors are not disclosed to users. The performance of commercial inhibitors was studied by treating the whole aspect of inhibitor as a kind of surfactant. The corrosion rate was measured with an autoclave by using an electrochemical measurement; namely, linear polarization resistance (LPR) in an oil flowline condition solution. Firstly, the corrosion rate was measured only with a corrosion inhibitor, and a hydrocarbon solvent was added afterwards. The decrease of the corrosion rate was observed after an addition of the solvent. Aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic solvents with different octanol-water partition coefficients, KOW, were tested in the same manner. The inhibitor efficiency was saturated remarkably after the addition of a solvent with high KOW. The synergistic effect with a specific solvent in this test can characterize the hydrophobicity and the adsorption tendency of the commercial inhibitor without close chemical analysis to specify the surfactant in it.

A lot of oil and gas facilities face corrosion problems because the production fluid contains some corrosive components represented by CO2. Generally, corrosion inhibitors are used in order to mitigate corrosion problems of tubing and pipeline. Imidazoline is known as one of the active ingredients of corrosion inhibitors and widely used in the oil and gas industries. However, imidazoline-type inhibitor is easily hydrolyzed to amide if water mixes into it.

TOL corrosion is reported to occur in large diameter wet gas pipeline in stratified flow conditions
due to low fluid velocities1. With increasing distance from the inlet, the wet gas pipeline becomes
cooler as it loses heat to the environment. Such cooling causes water, hydrocarbon, and other
high vapor pressure species to condense on the pipe wall. The upper part of the pipe will
constantly be supplied with freshly condensed water while the less corrosive water saturated
with corrosion products will be drained along the pipe wall to the bottom of the line.
