某石油公司VPCI-609防锈粉应用案例
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.
BACKGROUND
In 1995, the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT) implemented the OSPAR Harmonized Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF). Its primary function is to document and control the environmental properties of offshore chemicals. HOCNF documentation tracks chemical ingredients as well as toxicity, biodegradation and bioaccumulation testing data. SFT issues discharge permits. These permits enable the operating oil companies to change chemicals without additional permits provided that the environmental risks are not increased. These permits requires the operator to gradually and systematically replace chemicals that have questionable environmental effects with less harmful products. All the operators are all held to the same
strict discharge regulations.
The use of traditional petroleum oil based products and other hazardous chemicals have been under severe scrutiny. Oil based products not only pose hazard to environment and the operators, but they also fail to perform well in applications such as hydrotesting. In addition many of these

The use of traditional petroleum oil based products and other hazardous chemicals have been under severe scrutiny. Oil based products not only pose hazard to environment and the operators, but they also fail to perform well in applications such as hydrotesting. In addition many of these
products are difficult to use and add laborious removal procedures.
SOLUTION
VpCI®s have been used for offshore and onshore applications for many years. VpCI-609 Powder provides a perfect solution for hydrotesting applications. VpCI-609 has extremely low toxicity levels, (less than that of common table salt) which provides excellent corrosion protection with virtually no environmental impact. VpCI-609 was used during hydrotesting and for preservation of internal surfaces on pipes and vessels.
