Sunflower oil, a corrosion inhibitor in the new oil and gas industry.

A recent study published by researchers at the Federal University of Kazan in the Russian Federal Republic of Tatarstan suggests that sunflower oil has a inhibitory function that is suitable for corrosion control of oil and gas production facilities in harsh Arctic environments.
the university, the results show that substances derived from sunflower oil have a high efficiency and prevent freezing during the production of hydrocarbons in the Arctic. Researchers at the university have collaborated with the Russian National Petroleum and Gas University, Shahid Behshidi University in Iran, and Isfahan University in Iran to conduct

.
researchers point out that the easiest way to extract natural gas hydrants (combustible ice blocks) is cutting, but this method is extremely inefficient and unsafe. At present, inhibitors are used instead of the above method, but many inhibitors have side effects, such as environmental protection, too expensive.
, the researchers began to focus on the development of cost-effective and biodegradable substances, the preparation of inhibitors with unique properties. Sunflower oil is one of the raw materials."We found that sunflower oil can be modified to synthesize different molecular structures, such as hydrocarbon-based chain segments, to improve hydration inhibition, and that sunflower oil-based molecules degrade easily due to the presence of ester-based molecules," said Abdolreza Farhadian, a researcher on the
project. The researchers point out that they are concerned about sunflower oil because they are looking for a molecular synthesis technique that makes the compound non-toxic and biodegradable.
s new sunflower oil-based inhibitors have both hydration and pipe corrosion inhibitors," said Andrey Stoporev, a senior researcher at the University of New York. In the oil and gas industry, this versatile inhibitor is more effective than some existing inhibitors. "
