Impact differentiation of environmentally friendly versus standard corrosion inhibitor discharged into a tropical marine environment

摘要

A comparative ecotoxicology investigation has been conducted using field specific parameters to assess the impact of residual corrosion inhibitor,standard versus "green",discharged from offshore facilities.Presented is a modeled estimate of ecological impact and risk associated with produced water/corrosion inhibitor mixtures from a low salinity-high temperature discharge of 142 million L/day into an open sea environment.Impact is assessed by extrapolation of steady state indicator test species LC_(50) critical body residue (CBR) results applied to an accurate characterization of resident organism non steady state exposure and contaminant load.This extrapolation determines the acute and chronic impact of produced water/corrosion inhibitor mixture with time.
