Scale/Schmoo in Water Injection Line
Scale/Schmoo in Water Injection Line
(OP)
I have previously posted about a intern project I am working on to determine the best recipie to clean our main water injection lines which have been restricted over the years. A chemical analysis on the stuff shows that it is:
Hydrocarbons: 10%
Soluble salts: 1.40%
Calcium carbonates: .84%
Iron compounds 65.08%
Acid insolubles: 22.91%
Iron compounds were iron sulfide and iron oxide. I am getting a second test done to confirm the findings.
What are some options to clean this line? I would appreciate a variety of chemical options/procedures that I can test by flushing.
Thank you for your help, I do not have much experience yet and am a first year engineer.
