CLORIDES CORROSION

CLORIDES CORROSION

CLORIDES CORROSION

(OP)
I have a reinjnection water with 67000 ppm of clorides.
Wich is the pratically solution for the piping in this case.
Carbon steel or Duplex material?
Wich is the mechanism of corrosion of clorides on carbon steel? If there is an absence of oxigen is the corrosion inhibited? Thank's for your answer.
P.S. Naturally the duplex is the bettere choice, but is carbon steel technically applicable?
For the moment we not consider GRP/GRE pressure is too elevate

RE: CLORIDES CORROSION

You might try cloride with an "H" as in "Chloride" on a Google search.  Seems to be a lot of material on the subject.   

My experience with this is lab based and I would say stainless but there may be a cheaper solution.

RE: CLORIDES CORROSION

Carbon steel has been/is beeing used for de-oxgenized sea water injection (water flood) wells to increase oil production.      

RE: CLORIDES CORROSION

What is you're operating temperature? any other corrodents in the water? If you are more specific with the chemistry you will get a better opinion in here.

RE: CLORIDES CORROSION

If you take out the oxygen your corrosion rate will be reduced greatly, but there still will be corrosion at very low levels (genarally speaking not knowing the deatils of your scenario). You can also try a liner and carbon steel, don't know the configuration of your piping or pressure, but this is an option that works very well.
