Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the RXSOL equivalent of Corrosion Inhibitor KI 3939?
RXSOL identifies Corrosion Inhibitor CI 3023 (RXSOL-81-8165-211) as an alternative product. This is a catalogue cross-reference, not proof of identical formulation.
Q2. What is the main application of KI 3939?
The RXSOL-listed alternative is intended for film-forming corrosion protection in oil and gas pipeline systems.
Q3. What is the recommended dosage?
The published range is 6–12 ppm, but actual dosage must be validated under field operating conditions.
Q4. Can it protect against CO₂ and H₂S corrosion?
Potentially, depending on the formulation. Performance under sweet or sour service conditions must be verified through representative testing.
Q5. Is KI 3939 suitable for acidizing?
The available RXSOL cross-reference does not establish suitability for concentrated acidizing fluids. Acid corrosion inhibitors require separate testing for acid strength, temperature, exposure time and metallurgy.
Working Mechanism
The intended corrosion inhibition mechanism involves:
Surface Adsorption: Active inhibitor components adsorb onto compatible metal surfaces.
Protective Film Formation: A barrier film reduces exposure of the metal to corrosive components.
Corrosion Rate Reduction: The protective layer helps reduce electrochemical corrosion reactions.
Film Maintenance: Continuous injection may be required to replenish the inhibitor film under flowing conditions.
Recommended Dosage

Preliminary Dosage |

|
Initial Film Establishment |
Site-specific treatment programme |
|
Batch Treatment |
Subject to system design and validation |
Example: For a pipeline carrying 100 m³/hour of fluid, a treatment rate of 10 ppm by mass corresponds to approximately 1 kg/hour of inhibitor if the treated fluid density is assumed to be 1,000 kg/m³.
For other fluid densities, the required inhibitor mass flow changes accordingly.
The actual injection volume also depends on the inhibitor's density.
