According to the requirements of the circulating water treatment, a corrosion and scale inhibitor which compounded several single corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor was prepared, resulting in simplifying the process of operation, improving the concentration ratio of circulating water from 2.2 to 2.8, reducing the sewage volume, and decreasing the corrosion rate and cohesion rate. Therefore, the economic efficiency of the power plant gets greatly improved.

Abstract Organic acid has been widely applied for inorganic scale treatment in oil and gas industry including well stimulation and scale inhibitor. Thanks to its low corrosivity and slower reaction rate with rock, organic acid is considered to offer better performance comparing to strong acid - Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). Yet, proper treatment requires vigorous analysis and experiment in order to meet foremost expectations. Besides, mistreatment of scale could result in formation damage including clay precipitation. Pre-treatment experiments were performed on Zelda field at South East Sumatera block, that has faced with scale problem for ages. Water sample was taken from flowing Zelda A-08 well to be analyzed for mineral's saturation level. Scale was extracted from three sources including tubing, sand bailer, and Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) of Zelda A-08. Those scale were treated in X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) for mineral composition, and solubility test that utilized two types of acid system - formic acid (HCOOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) for comparison. Anti-swelling test and corrosion test were performed to examine the effectiveness of clay stabilizer and corrosion inhibitor. As for carbonate analysis, both formic acid 9% and HCl 15% have comparable solubility (98.17% vs 98% for tubing's scale, 91.86% vs 82.79% for ESP's scale, and 70.30% vs 68.07% for sand bailer's scale). Yet, longer reaction is carried out by formic acid 9% (1 hour) comparing to HCl 15% (18 minutes). For silicate analysis, HF-formic acid provided the higher solubility than HF-HCl (8.34% vs 5.67% for ESP's scale and 30.48% vs 25.68% for sand bailer's scale). On anti-swelling test, by reducing swelling tendency up to 62.6%, it proves that examined clay stabilizer works perfectly against swelling potential of clay, despite of high swelling tendency of sand bailer's scale (25.8%). On corrosion test, adding on corrosion inhibitor (pyridine-based) into solution results in regular HCl 15% has corrosion rate 26.279 g/m2.h which is much higher (300%) than HF-HCl (7.977 g/m2.h) and HF-formic acid (8.229 g/m2.h). Based on pre-treatment test, formic acid 9% together with examined corrosion inhibitor and clay stabilizer, can be used as an alternative to regular HCl 15% for stimulation purpose where more areas will be covered that previously left unreachable by regular acid 15%. In addition, potentially more effective squeezed scale inhibitor using organic acid can also be achieved by performing further experiments. The method presented in this paper for pre-treatment experimental studies of organic acid can provide engineers with intensive guide to meet the best result of organic acid treatment.

Cyclohexylamine, morphine, ethanolamine, propiolic alcohol, seventeen alkenyl amide ethyl imidazoline, water depolymerization malaya acid anhydride, etc were chosen as the raw material of corrosion scale inhibitor in view of corrosion scaling reason and characteristic of blast furnace top gas pressure recovery turbine unit. The optimized formula of corrosion inhibitor have been obtained through orthogonal experiment. Corrosion and scale inhibitor performance were evaluated respectively by static weight-loss method, dynamic weight-loss method and calcium carbonate deposition. The results show that when these components are reasonable distributed, the corrosion effect is satisfied. When water depolymerization malaya acid anhydride is combined with the corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion and scale inhibition efficiency of composite inhibitor are more than 90%. Simulation blast furnace gas is adopted in dynamic simulation experiment, the corrosion inhibition efficiency is over 92%.

The synthetic imidazoline-ammonium-salt corrosion inhibitor was compounded with sodium sulfite, isopropanol and potassium pyroantimonate respectively. Potassium pyroantimonate was selected as the best compound with good synergy. And the ratio of potassium pyroantimonate and the corrosion inhibitor was 3:50. Compared to the imidazoline corrosion inhibitor separately used, the inhibition efficiency was improved about 1.2% when the amount of the potassium pyroantimonate was 0.03%. Through researching the synergistic effect with polyaspartic acid, the green and high-efficient corrosion and scale inhibitor is got which is applicable to oilfield.
