Chemical injection is an integral component of any pipeline integrity program. The petroleum,
chemical, and water treatment industries require chemical treatments to control various
undesirable contaminants and prevent asset degradation. Some of the chemicals typically
injected are corrosion, scale, and paraffin inhibitors; hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and
oxygen scavengers; biocides; glycols and methanol. Careful consideration of the injection
method chosen will provide a cost effective and reliable solution.
Criteria required to select the proper chemical injection method:
1) The treatment required and chemical selected
2) Process conditions
a. Process Fluid (i.e. natural gas, crude oil, water, etc.)
b. Pressure (min-normal-max)
c. Temperature (min-normal-max)
d. Flow rate (min-normal-max)
e. Process density
3) Chemical density relative to water
4) Injection site specifics
a. Pipeline diameter or vessel size
b. Injection port size and type
c. Utilities to power pump
