Integrity & Protection Additives
Corrosion Inhibitors
Corrosion inhibitors protect pipelines and storage facilities from CO₂, H₂S, water, and other corrosive agents. By forming a protective layer on metal surfaces, these additives prevent metal loss, equipment failure, and operational downtime. Common chemistries include amines, imidazolines, and phosphate-based inhibitors designed for oil, gas, and water phases.
Scale Inhibitors
Scale inhibitors prevent mineral deposition in pipelines and equipment during transport of produced fluids, maintaining flow efficiency and minimizing maintenance. Phosphonate-based, polymeric, and threshold inhibitors are used to control common scales such as calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, and strontium sulfate.
Biocides
Biocides control microbial growth in pipelines and storage tanks, preventing biofouling, souring, and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Agents such as glutaraldehyde, THPS, and quaternary ammonium compounds are applied according to microbial risk and fluid composition.
