Our client was looking to inject methanol, used in Oil and Gas Industry to prevent the corrosion in pipelines where hydrate formation occurs at low temperatures.
Hydrate formations occur when water and natural gases encounter a combination of low temperatures and high pressures, which if not addressed can lead to the corrosion of pipelines, the formation of slurries and crystallisation which can clog pipework and process equipment such as valves and process instrumentation.
They want to install a new injection package to an unmanned offshore platform located in the North Sea and wanted to protect the existing pipework and ensure that the pipeline was shielded from corrosion and kept well maintained.
The pipeline was operating at a pressure of over 250 Bar, and they required an ATEX dosing pump to inject Methanol into the system at over 250 Bar, which could be controlled remotely to alter output flow.
