Pipeline Cleaning Chemicals

Pipelines are the major component of a midstream sector as it is the easiest and safest way to transport crude oil to various refineries. Since it is an important component, it needs to be well maintained. Cleaning at regular interval is required for proper maintenance and safety of pipeline materials. Chemical Cleaning is one of the best process to clean the pipeline system and it has become an industry standard in no time. What happens in this process is the cleaning chemical is mixed with a proper diluent in necessary concentration and pushed in to the pipeline. This solution removes the unwanted components in the pipeline and reduce the amount of pipeline contaminants, protecting the metal parts and increasing its lifetime. The process is completed within fewer injection and also reduce the total shut down time. Compared to mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning is relatively more efficient.

Functions of Silver in ALSTASAN SILVOX

Oligo-Dynamic Function 
Silver shows oligo-dynamic effect or toxicity on bacterial cells even in relatively low concentrations. Silver ions denature enzymes of the target cell or organism by binding to reactive groups, resulting in their precipitation and inactivation. Silver inactivates enzymes by reacting with the thiol groups to form silver sulphides.

Stabilizer function
Hydrogen Peroxide is not stable which means that it decomposes to oxygen and water. To solve this problem silver is added to hydrogen peroxide as
stabilizer. This stabilizer prevents the slow decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide. The Ag2+ ions keep O2- ions.

Activator Function
The silver performs as an activator. The singularity of this silver activator is that it only activates the peroxide when it is exposed to biofoulants. In contact with microbes the silver loses its stabilizing function and activates to release nascent oxygen to oxidize the exposed microbes. When all bacteria have been oxidized by the generated active oxygen compounds, the silver acts as stabilizer for the remaining and non-reacted oxygen.

Handling Measures
and Precautions

Proper human safety products such as splash goggles, lab coat, vapour respirator, NIOSH approved gloves and boots should be worn while handling and applying chemicals. Splashes on the skin should be washed off with water immediately. In case of splashing into the eyes, flush them with fresh water and obtain medical attention. Should not be injected.

Storage

ALSTASAN SILVOX is an oxidizing product and should be stored in original vented containers, away from heat, direct sunlight and combustibles. Store in a cool and dry place. Please refer label and SDS for details.
