Corrosion Inhibitor CI 3023

Corrosion Inhibitor CI 3023
Product Code: RXSOL-81-8165-211

Product Description

RXSOL Corrosion Inhibitor CI 3023 is a film-forming corrosion inhibitor

The product is intended to reduce internal corrosion of compatible metallic surfaces in oil and gas production and pipeline transportation systems.

Film-forming corrosion inhibitors work by adsorbing onto metal surfaces and forming a protective barrier that reduces contact between corrosive fluids and the underlying metal.

Major Applications

Application

Purpose

Crude Oil Pipelines

Internal corrosion protection

Oil & Gas Production Lines

Control of corrosion in production fluids

Flowlines

Protection of compatible carbon steel surfaces

Gathering Pipelines

Corrosion management during fluid transportation

Production Equipment

Reduction of corrosion-related metal deterioration

Industrial Hydrocarbon Systems

Corrosion control where validated

Suitability for CO₂-containing or H₂S-containing fluids must be confirmed through representative corrosion testing. Inhibitor performance depends on fluid composition, temperature, flow conditions and metallurgy.

 
 

Product Dose

Working Mechanism

The intended corrosion inhibition mechanism involves:

Surface Adsorption: Active inhibitor components adsorb onto compatible metal surfaces.

Protective Film Formation: A barrier film reduces exposure of the metal to corrosive components.

Corrosion Rate Reduction: The protective layer helps reduce electrochemical corrosion reactions.

Film Maintenance: Continuous injection may be required to replenish the inhibitor film under flowing conditions.

Recommended Dosage

Application

Preliminary Dosage

Continuous Pipeline Injection

6–12 ppm, supplier-published range

High-Corrosion Systems

Determine through laboratory and field trials

Initial Film Establishment

Site-specific treatment programme

Batch Treatment

Subject to system design and validation

Example: For a pipeline carrying 100 m³/hour of fluid, a treatment rate of 10 ppm by mass corresponds to approximately 1 kg/hour of inhibitor if the treated fluid density is assumed to be 1,000 kg/m³.

For other fluid densities, the required inhibitor mass flow changes accordingly.

The actual injection volume also depends on the inhibitor's density.

Product Note

Recommended Application Procedure

  1. Analyse the production fluid, including water cut, salinity, dissolved gases and other corrosive constituents.

  2. Confirm pipeline metallurgy and operating temperature.

  3. Select a suitable chemical injection point.

  4. Establish the preliminary dosage through laboratory testing.

  5. Inject continuously using a calibrated chemical dosing pump.

  6. Monitor corrosion performance using coupons, electrical resistance probes or other approved techniques.

  7. Adjust the injection rate according to measured corrosion performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the RXSOL equivalent of Corrosion Inhibitor KI 3939?

RXSOL identifies Corrosion Inhibitor CI 3023 (RXSOL-81-8165-211) as an alternative product. This is a catalogue cross-reference, not proof of identical formulation.

Q2. What is the main application of KI 3939?

The RXSOL-listed alternative is intended for film-forming corrosion protection in oil and gas pipeline systems.

Q3. What is the recommended dosage?

The published range is 6–12 ppm, but actual dosage must be validated under field operating conditions.

Q4. Can it protect against CO₂ and H₂S corrosion?

Potentially, depending on the formulation. Performance under sweet or sour service conditions must be verified through representative testing.

Q5. Is KI 3939 suitable for acidizing?

The available RXSOL cross-reference does not establish suitability for concentrated acidizing fluids. Acid corrosion inhibitors require separate testing for acid strength, temperature, exposure time and metallurgy.
