CO2 corrosion control in steel pipelines. Influence of turbulent flow on the performance of corrosion inhibitors

摘要

Corrosion associated with aqueous environments containing carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or hydrogen sulphide (H2S), is a well-known phenomenon in oil and gas industries. This type of corrosion is of particular importance in transportation through steel pipelines. This transportation process could involve the movement of a complex mixture of gas and liquids. This moving mixture is in close contact with the inner surface of the steel pipelines and corrosion can occur. It has been demonstrated that this corrosion is influenced by flow.
