Game Changer in Chemical Injection-Saving_Costs

There are mainly two types of chemical injection systems adopted by oil and gas companies. One type of system injects chemicals directly from a pump, controlling discharge rates by adjusting the stroke length of the pump. The other type of system uses Injection Rate Control Device (IRCD) to regulate injection rates. In many cases, discharge rates or injection rates are set by manual manipulation. However, the discharge rate often drifts from the set rate, which is affected by changes in pressure at the injection point, chemical viscosity or ambient temperature. When chemical injection rates go underdosing, it may cause tremendous detriment to assets. Consequently, most operators tend to set the discharge rate 10 to 20 percent higher than the stipulated rate to prevent being underdosed, which leads to excessive chemical cost.
