Inhibitor spray for Gas line

Inhibitor spray for Gas line

Inhibitor spray for Gas line

(OP)
I am urgently searching (without success) for the Manufacturer of an Inhibitor which is put into the gas pipes - - I believe it goes in at the rate of  one pint per million cubic feet of gas - - The product reference number EC 1391-A
Please does anyone know of this product or of anything similar - - The Client needs approx 10 tons.

RE: Inhibitor spray for Gas line

If you are planning to use aersol injection of that pint per million, save your client some money and tell him that it doesn't exist--it exists, but it simply will not work.  The aerosol will coalesce into bigger and bigger droplets until within 5-6 pipe joints it has accumulated into a puddle and there it will stay.

Even very high pressure gas lacks the flow energy to transport a liquid chemical uniformly down a pipe.  The only repeatable way to treat a gas line is to pig in batches of chemicals.  This can work, but not wonderfully (the inhibiter will tend to sag from the pipe walls before adhereing and leave hollidays).  Every other technique will fail.
