What are the uses of Corrosion Control Solutions For Drilling Rig?

Corrosion is one of the significant problems that oil and gas companies have to face on a routine basis. This phenomenon tends to damage the machines and equipment of the company. Since the factories in Dubai have to extract and produce oil and gas regularly, there is a high possibility of equipment getting corroded after coming in contact with moisture and precipitation. Drilling rigs are the major machinery essentially used for oil extraction from the ground.


When they get corroded due to humidity or weather conditions, it costs an enormous amount for the company. This is why corrosion control solutions for drilling rigs are necessary for companies in Dubai.


Vapor corrosion inhibitors


These inhibitors are used by the oil and gas companies to prevent the ferrous and non-ferrous material from getting corroded in contact with moisture. They are popularly known as vacuum volatile phase inhibitors by the experts. In this technology, the corrosion inhibitor substance travels through pipes of metal surfaces with a medium called the vapor phase. This vapor phase is made of a material that has anti-corrosion properties. This helps in the prevention of corrosion in the pipes. It is one of the latest methods of corrosion control for drilling spares, which can be done through other material as well like:


● Protective Oil-based additives

● Rust removers

● Oil-based lubricants

● Cooling additives


DeHumidification system


This system uses the property of a material to maintain and stabilize the humidity in the air to percent corrosion of drilling rigs. The weather conditions in Dubai can often fluctuate quickly, which results in precipitation. Hence, an electrical appliance called dehumidifier is used in this system to extract all the humidity from the air and make it moisture free so that substances can be easily transferred from drilling rigs to factories.


Desiccants


Using desiccants is the easiest solution for controlling corrosion in drinking rigs. They are drying agents used to dry out the moisture present in the platforms before allowing the transfer of oil and gas through pipes. However, they must be used carefully because they may cause dehydration in the surrounding places.


Preventive measures are better than mitigation measures because they are easier to take. They are brought before the damage is done, so it saves the company its time, resources, and money. Most efficient ones are:


● Using rubber wiper

● Washing the pipe regularly

● Rinse and dry the boxes before racking

● Put thread protectors on the pipe


With Cortec-me, you can manufacture and produce oil and gas without any stress of machinery getting corroded. Cortec-me provides the best anti-corroding systems and solutions to control corrosion in drilling rigs.
