Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of simulated corrosion test devices, and in particular relates to a device and method for quickly and accurately evaluating the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors and analyzing corrosion rates. Background Art

[0002] As the trend of crude oil deterioration intensifies, there are many complex corrosive components such as H2S, CO2, and organic acids in the process of crude oil extraction, storage, transportation, and processing. The coexistence with water can form a complex corrosive environment, involving a wide range of corrosion temperatures, causing serious corrosion to pipelines and equipment. As a corrosion inhibitor, the presence of corrosion inhibitors in the corrosion system at a concentration of ppm does not significantly change the properties of the corrosive medium on the one hand, but can significantly reduce the corrosion rate on the other hand. Therefore, adding corrosion inhibitors is an important and relatively economical anti-corrosion measure.

[0003] The evaluation of corrosion inhibitors adopts the test method of metal corrosion rate, that is, to determine the corrosion rate of metal in the corrosive medium with a certain corrosion inhibitor added, and compare it with the corrosion rate of the metal in the corrosive medium without corrosion inhibitor, so as to determine the corrosion inhibition efficiency and the best conditions of use. At present, the commonly used corrosion inhibitor evaluation methods are mainly: static method and dynamic method. The static method is to place the sample coupons in the corrosive environment and compare the corrosion rates of blank samples and samples with corrosion inhibitors; the dynamic method is to place the sample coupons in the corrosive environment with a certain amount of stirring, and the equipment used mainly includes high-temperature and high-pressure dynamic kettles and high-temperature and high-pressure rotating cages. Since corrosion occurs through electrochemical reactions, electrochemical technology is an ideal method for studying the corrosion process. In electrochemical research, the metal sample is immersed in a solution similar to the real metal corrosion environment, and the additional electrode is also immersed in the solution, and all electrodes are connected to a constant potential instrument. Using electrochemical kinetic theory and testing methods, the polarization characteristics of the metal surface in the corrosive medium before and after the addition of corrosion inhibitors are studied to evaluate the corrosion characteristics of metals under different conditions, which can effectively replace the traditional mass loss analysis method and overcome the problem of long test cycles.

[0004] Currently, the commonly used methods for evaluating the performance of corrosion inhibitors include "SY / T 5273-2014 Performance Evaluation Method of Corrosion Inhibitors for Oilfield Produced Water". Although this method is time-saving, it can only qualitatively evaluate the film-forming effect of the corrosion inhibitor, and cannot evaluate key corrosion inhibition effect indicators such as the durability of the corrosion inhibitor film. It also has great limitations and poor repeatability.

[0005] Patent CN 201621429404.3 is a device for testing the corrosion rate of the gas phase in a high-temperature and high-pressure gas-liquid two-phase environment. The corrosion test piece is cooled by circulating cooling water so that the surface temperature of the corrosion test piece is lower than the temperature inside the autoclave. It can well simulate the corrosion of the top of the pipeline by the flowing corrosive medium, but this method is limited to analyzing the corrosion rate under low temperature conditions. Patent CN 106680196 A relates to a system for evaluating the corrosion inhibition efficiency of corrosion inhibitors. It uses a temperature-resistant and pressure-resistant solution to simulate a high-temperature and high-pressure corrosion environment, and simulates the airflow scouring of a high-speed corrosive medium. It is used to study the corrosion inhibition mechanism of corrosion inhibitors under dynamic corrosion conditions. However, the resistance probe is used in the high-temperature and high-pressure corrosion analysis in this method, and the corrosion mechanism cannot be examined in detail; when it is a hanging sample, a three-electrode system is used, but the system cannot withstand high temperature and high pressure. In summary, there is no effective means and method in the field of simulated corrosion test technology that takes into account high temperature, high pressure, fastness and accuracy.

[0063] Comparative Example 1

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, the corrosion rate is correlated by testing the corrosion current density. The experimental period is very short, about within 30 minutes. In the comparative example, the corrosion rate tested by this method is compared with the corrosion rate tested by the traditional mass loss method. In the traditional corrosion reactor, the corresponding corrosion environment is established according to the requirements of Example 2-Example 6. After grinding and weighing, 20# steel is immersed in the above-mentioned corrosive medium for 72 hours. The test piece specifications are After the test, remove the corrosion product film on the surface of the test piece, clean it in an ultrasonic instrument, dry it with filter paper and weigh it. Calculate the corrosion rate by weight loss. The corrosion rate is calculated according to the formula recommended by GB / T19292.4-2003, that is:

[0065] Where v is the corrosion rate mm / a; Δm is the weight loss of metal in g; ρ is the metal density 7.85 g / cm 3 ; A is the surface area of ​​the test piece cm 2 ; Δt is the corrosion time h.

[0066] Table-6 Corrosion rate of 20# carbon steel in acidic water under different conditions (mass loss method)

[0067]

[0068] It can be seen from the above results that, under the same corrosion environment, the corrosion rate measured in the present invention has the same law as the corrosion rate measured by the traditional mass loss method, and the values ​​are close, so the traditional mass loss method can be replaced.

[0069] Example 7 - Static Corrosion Inhibitor Evaluation Example:

[0070] Blank test, step 1: prepare electrodes. Make a cylindrical corrosion test piece of 20# carbon steel with a bottom diameter of 11.28mm and a surface height of 2mm as the working electrode, polish the bottom with water sandpaper, clean it with petroleum ether, blow it dry with a hair dryer, and coat the cylindrical surface and one of the bottom surfaces with epoxy resin for insulation. Then place it in the 1# groove of the disc electrode holder, use the platinum mesh electrode as the counter electrode, and the silver / silver chloride reference electrode as the reference electrode. Step 2: Fill the medium. Install the kettle cover, tighten the main bolts step by step in a symmetrical and diagonal manner in multiple times, and apply force evenly without deflection to achieve a good sealing effect. Connect the nitrogen source to the feed port, turn on the nitrogen source, and punch to check the air tightness of the reactor. Replace the air in the reactor with nitrogen for no less than 6 times to reduce the oxygen content to below 0.3%. Take the 15% hydrochloric acid solution described in the standard SY / T5405-1996 as the corrosion medium, pump it into the corrosion reactor described in the present invention, immerse the three electrodes, set the temperature to 60°C, and slowly heat to 60°C and stabilize for 10 minutes. Step 3: Electrochemical test. Wait for the pressure and temperature of the system to remain stable. Turn on the electrochemical workstation, connect 12 to the reference electrode interface of the electrochemical workstation, connect 13 to the counter electrode interface of the electrochemical workstation, and connect 14-1 to the working electrode interface of the electrochemical workstation. Wait for the open circuit potential E O After stabilization, a potentiodynamic polarization curve test was performed in a three-electrode system with a scanning range of [EC-200mv, EC+200mv] and a scanning rate of 10mV / min-20mV / min to measure the corrosion potential Ec and corrosion current density Ic of the system. The trend of corrosion potential over time was recorded.

[0071] Corrosion inhibition test: Inhibitor A with a concentration of 0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% by mass was added to the corrosive medium at intervals of 30 minutes. After the corrosion inhibitor was evenly dispersed in the corrosive medium, electrochemical testing was performed after the corrosion inhibitor was pre-filmed on the corrosion surface of the working electrode 10 minutes later. The corrosion potential Ec and corrosion current density Ic of the system were measured respectively, and the corrosion inhibition efficiency η was calculated.

[0072] Figure 5This is the change in the corrosion potential of the working electrode after adding corrosion inhibitor A. It can be seen that after adding corrosion inhibitor A (concentration is 0.1%wt), the corrosion potential of the system drops from -128mV to -169mV. The decrease in corrosion potential indicates that the corrosion inhibitor inhibits the cathode and is a cathodic corrosion inhibitor.

[0073] Example 8 - Static Corrosion Inhibitor Evaluation Example

[0074] The corrosion inhibitor B was rapidly evaluated according to the method steps of Example 7. Figure 6 To evaluate the corrosion inhibitor B,

[0075] Knowable

[0076] After adding the corrosion inhibitor B (concentration of 0.1% wt), the corrosion potential of the system hardly changed, and it can be judged that the corrosion inhibitor is a mixed inhibition type corrosion inhibitor. According to the calculation formula of corrosion inhibition efficiency, the corrosion inhibition of corrosion inhibitor A and corrosion inhibitor B is calculated (the results are shown in Table 7).

[0080] Example 9 - Dynamic Corrosion Inhibitor Evaluation Implementation

[0081] Based on the static evaluation of corrosion inhibitor B in Example 7, the rotation speed of the electromagnetic stirrer at the bottom of the reactor was set to 100 r / s to achieve a simulated medium flow rate of 7 m / s, and corrosion inhibitors A and B were dynamically evaluated respectively.
