Corrosion Initiation: Solid particles deposited on the pipeline’s inner surface can create localized corrosion cells. Understanding the composition and characteristics of these solids helps identify potential corrosion triggers and prevent accelerated pipeline degradation.
Deposit Formation: Solid deposits can form due to various factors, including changes in temperature, pressure, or fluid composition. Characterizing these deposits helps in understanding their formation mechanisms and addressing the underlying causes.
Mitigation Strategies: Accurate characterization of solid deposits allows for the development of targeted corrosion control measures, such as selecting appropriate inhibitors or modifying maintenance pigging frequency to minimize deposit formation.
