| Product Use | Corrosion Inhibitor RIM 104 High film persistent, batch type crude oil line corrosion inhibitor designed to control corrosion in oil production systems. |
| Description | RIM 104 crude oil line corrosion inhibitor is a unique blend of filming amines and surfactants in an aromatic based solvent. This product has limited solubility in oil and water. RIM 104 forms a very persistent corrosion inhibitor film on down hole equipment, flow lines and most other oil handling equipment. RIM 104 crude oil line corrosion inhibitor will inhibit corrosion caused by oilfield brines, organic acids, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. |
| Typical Physical Properties |
Form @ 20°C (68°F) - Dark brown liquid |
| Application Method | RIM 104 should be batched into the crude oil production well, either neat, or dispersed in clean hydrocarbon. The quantity of crude oil line corrosion inhibitor required to control corrosion is Dependent on the well depth, water cut and production. Circulation of the well may be performed to displace the corrosion inhibitor to the bottom of the well. To treat crude oil flow lines and gas gathering lines, RIM 104 crude oil line corrosion inhibitor can either be applied neat or dispersed in clean hydrocarbon (for example, diesel) at a maximum ratio of 1 part of corrosion inhibitor to 8 parts of hydrocarbon. Ideally, the mixture should be displaced down the lines between pigs. The volume of RIM 104 required to lay a uniform film on the metal surface may be determined from the following relationship: Liters = Line (Km) X pipe diameter (mm) X 0.0798 X desired film thickness (mil) |
