Benefit / Advantage of Hydro Testing Corrosion Inhibitor RXSOL 4000
-
Hydro Testing Corrosion Inhibitor RXSOL 4000 is a liquid multifunctional chemical designed to completely treat hydrostatic test fluid, saltwater packer fluid, saltwater drilling fluid, during Hydro-testing and oil field water injection programme.
-
Hydro Testing Corrosion Inhibitor RXSOL 4000 contains an effective filming corrosion inhibitor, oxygen scavenger and biocide, altogether in a single formulation convenient to dose with single chemical injection pump or skid.
-
Hydro Testing Corrosion Inhibitor RXSOL 4000 is economical to use as handling is limited to one chemical.
-
Rapidly kills Sulphate Reducing (SRB) as well as other offending bacteria that give rise to Microbial Influenced Corrosion (MIC)
-
Mitigates against acid corrosion resulting from residual low pH of surface waters
How to use Hydrotesting Corrosion Inhibitor Oxygen Scavenger Biocide RXSOL-43-4035-210
Corrosion inhibitor shall be dosed in the displacement water piping at the suction of main pump/ booster pump
Dose 2 to 3 ltr per 100 ltr water.
Contact time: Minimum 24 hours for effective passivation + biocidal effect
Temperature: Ambient to 50°C (higher temp improves kinetics but not essential)
Mixing: Ensure thorough circulation to distribute inhibitor uniformly
Water quality: Ideally should be low hardness and low chloride (<50 ppm Cl⁻ preferable)
Oxygen level: Target <1 ppm dissolved oxygen after treatment (check with DO meter if possible).
Flushing: After test, flush system thoroughly to remove chemicals.
When to consider HIGHER DOSAGE of RXSOL Hydrotesting Corrosion Inhibitor?
However if you are considering higher dosage, it should be under following conditions:
If hydrotest duration exceeds 7 days OR If high temperature (more than 50°C) - use 3% - 4% v/v
Additional points to take care:
-
For high chloride hydrotest conditions, additional passivators are needed which are in-built in HydroTech 3670 RX.
-
After hydrotest, thoroughly flush the system to remove residual chemicals
-
Always monitor pH and oxygen scavenging effectiveness onsite
