Internal Corrosion Inhibition of Gas Gathering Lines

Accelerated internal failures of gas gathering lines due to corrosion are creating more concern to operators. A review of the dissolved gasses which cause corrosion is significant from the standpoint of occurrence and prediction of corrosion. Dissolved oxygen when present with other corrosive gases causes severe corrosion. Experience shows that early detection of corrosion by the use of monitoring devices is essential. Corrosion in gas gathering lines can be effectively and economically inhibited with organic film forming amine corrosion inhibitors properly applied and monitored.
