Injecting fluid into gas stream

Injecting fluid into gas stream

Injecting fluid into gas stream

(OP)
We have an application for an injection quill.  The client wants to inject an inhibitor into a gas stream.  The fluid would be at approx 150 PSI and the gas normally at approx 150 PSI, however it could go as high as 1,440 PSI max.  

Question is will the fluid overcome the pressure differential and continue to enter the gas stream?  If it was fluid to fluid injection then the injection would stop once the pressure in the pipe was greater than the pressure of the injection fluid.  We aren't sure about a fluid to gas application.

RE: Injecting fluid into gas stream

dragonsaver;

I rather doubt that the 150 psi fluid would continue to enter the gas stream when the gas pressures are equal to or greater than 150 psi. There would have to be a pressure differential for the fluid to flow. This would hold true whether you are injecting a fluid into a gas or a gas into a fluid.
