Chemical Injection Systems for Oil & Gas

Why Chemical Injection Matters in Oil & Gas

The sprawling infrastructure of the oil and gas sector means miles of pipelines that must be kept in good health to ensure safe and efficient production. Any corrosion can result in leaks and equipment failure that means environmental harm, threats to public safety, and unexpected stops to production. At the same time, build of mineral scale and paraffin inside the pipe can create blockages that hinder productivity.

Our chemical injection systems are designed to provide constant protection against these and many other threats. By inserting injection quills in the piping at strategic points, operators can inject chemicals to halt corrosion, break up mineral scale, and ensure oil and water don’t emulsify.

Core Components and Design Standards

Our systems are designed to meet API, NACE, and ASTM standards that ensure the most effective functionality and full compliance. Every element of our systems, from the chemical storage tanks to the dosing pumps to the flow meters, has been carefully and thoughtfully engineered to provide the highest levels of performance and durability in oil and gas applications. With automated control systems, our equipment integrates easily into existing setups and offers smooth, continuous operation.

How SMARTCORR® Systems Work

The chemical storage tank is filled with the compound to be added at that particular spot in the pipeline. Chemical injection pumps are activated by automated PLCs to begin the flow of the chemicals into the piping system, which typically runs through a pulsation dampener to enhance the smooth flow of the chemicals. From there, it passes through the injection quill where it is introduced into the pipeline or other equipment as needed. Flow meters serve to verify the dosage in real-time.

We have the ability to customize systems based on customers’ needs and their engineering design requirements. Our systems are capable of handling flow rates anywhere between 0.1 and 250 L/h, and pressures up to 20,000 psi. Available materials include alloys, PVC, PE, fiberglass and more.

Our equipment also is designed to provide the highest levels of safety and environmental compliance. Safety features such as pressure relief valves and advanced automated controls help protect employees and prevent leaks that can lead to environmental disasters.

How often should metering pumps be recalibrated?

With regular maintenance to the system, metering pumps shouldn’t require recalibration.

What viscosity ranges can SMARTCORR® injection systems handle?

Our systems are designed to handle all typical chemicals injected into oil and gas systems.

How far should the injection quill extend into the flow?

Typically, the quill should extend into the middle of the pipe to ensure even distribution of the chemicals.
