How different families of scale inhibitors impact corrosion inhibitors performance in the presence of each other. Fundamental properties of both chemistries and how their interaction can be understood at the molecular level.
It is well known that chemical interactions between scale inhibitor (SI) and corrosion inhibitor (CI) might lead to a reduction in the performance efficiency of both chemicals. Scale and corrosion inhibitors are widely used in the oil and gas industry; thus it is very important to understand how they impact each other’s performance. This paper attempted to explain how different families of scale inhibitors impact corrosion inhibitors performance in the presence of each other. For this purpose, this paper addressed fundamental properties of both chemistries and how their interaction can be understood at the molecular level. Ultimately, this more in-depth understanding will allow for a more informed selection of scale and corrosion inhibitors for sub-sea applications and will help develop the next generation of these chemistries. This work explored the possibility of three separate mechanisms (competitive adsorption, SI/CI complexation and surface adhesion) that can cause scale inhibitors to negatively impact corrosion inhibitor performance. The three mechanisms were explored by using Surface Tension (SFT), Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrum (LC/MS), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements.

A convenient protocol for screening the potential efficacy of scale inhibitors is described. All of the techniques used require relatively inexpensive equipment. Two types of scale are addressed in this paper, calcium carbonate and calcium oxalate, but the general procedures are expected to be applicable to inhibitor screening for others as well.

Recommended corrosion inhibitor (CI) testing methods and interpretation to assure proper execution of a test program. Associated guidance for CI test program definition testing and management to ensure and improve the integrity of carbon steels applications in our Industry.
A novel evaluation technique, based on an artificial pit electrode, has been developed for inhibitor studies. The first example is of three generic inhibitors, against localised corrosion. The second is of three industrial inhibitors against existing localised corrosion on a north sea production platform
