PROBLEM
Corrosion was developing on internal surfaces of pipelines and vessels. It was especially evident during and after hydrotesting. These pipelines and vessels were located on offshore platforms, refineries and onshore oil & gas receiving stations.
APPLICATION
Applications included large pipe systems on offshore platforms, smaller systems on refineries, onshore oil & gas receiving stations.
• VpCI®-609 powder is simply mixed in the hydrotesting water according to the recommended dosage.
• After hydrotesting, the mixture of water and VCI powder is drained into a tank and used again or drained into the sea.
• The concentration used for this application is based on the amount of time needed for protection. It is normally between 1-3.5% by weight of water.
CONCLUSION
There are numerous reasons why the customer likes to use VpCI®-609. They include: ease of storage, ease of application, environmental friendliness and no need for expensive and messy removal before system startup . More and more, VpCI®-609 Powder is replacing traditional oilbased water emulsifiers.
