  Although, corrosion of pipelines conveying petroleum crude-oil and gas is an electrochemical process, it however, involves several chemical reactions occurring in the bulk solution, prior to the surface of the metal. The occurrence of these chemical reactions can alter significantly the rate of the electrochemical processes at the metal’s surface; especially when as a result of high local concentrations of reacting species, the solubility limit of the product formed (iron carbonate or/and iron sulphide) is exceeded and the precipitation of inhibiting surface films occurs on the metal’s surface. Thus, this paper investigated the effects of the chemical reactions on the rate of corrosion of steel pipes conveying petroleum crude-oil and gas with the presence of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The results affirmed what were reported in the literature that cor.. Read More»
