  • Publication number: 20210395898
    Abstract: In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a process for preventing corrosion of a metallic surface of a pipeline includes contacting the metallic surface with a corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion inhibitor comprises a polymer of formula R—O—(POL)—Z. R is a straight or branched alkyl or aryl; POL is a polyglycerol based polymer; Z is a non-ionic amine, a cyclic amine having 5 to 8 atoms, a diamine, a triamine, a tetra-amine, a polymeric amine, a thiol, a disulfide, or —NH—R1—SH; and R1 is a hydrocarbyl. The corrosion inhibitor is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210388276
    Abstract: Corrosion inhibitor compositions and methods for inhibiting corrosion on a metal surface exposed to a hydrocarbon fluid are provided. The corrosion inhibition compositions can include a corrosion inhibitor, such as 3-dimethylamino benzoic acid, 4-dimethylamino benzoic acid, or 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid. The corrosion inhibitor composition can further comprise dimethyl sulfoxide, and heavy aromatic naphtha. The corrosion inhibitor composition can be phosphate-free and can inhibit naphthenic acid corrosion. In the methods, a corrosion inhibitor composition is added to the hydrocarbon fluid exposed to the metal surface to prevent or inhibit corrosion on the metal surface, including naphthenic acid corrosion.

  • Publication number: 20210180194
    Abstract: Corrosion inhibitor compositions and methods for inhibiting corrosion on a metal surface exposed to a hydrocarbon fluid are provided. The corrosion inhibitor composition can comprise 2-aminoterephthalic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide and heavy aromatic naphtha (HAN). In another embodiment, the composition can comprise 4-methylamino benzoic acid or 4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid, N-methyl pyrrolidone, and HAN. In the method, a corrosion inhibitor composition comprising 2-aminoterephthalic acid, 4-methylamino benzoic acid, or 4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid can be added to a hydrocarbon fluid exposed to the metal surface. The corrosion can be caused by naphthenic acid.

  • Publication number: 20210018425
    Abstract: A system, an apparatus and a method for simulating and assessing a damaged corrosion film in a pipe segment for pitting corrosion potential under field conditions, including variations in cathode to anode ratios. The apparatus has an anode case that holds a working electrode, a first body portion attachable to one end of the pipe segment, and a second body portion attachable to another end of the pipe segment, the first and second body portions defining a corrosion simulation cell. The anode case can be contained within the corrosion simulation cell, and the working electrode can include a test matrix.
