Prevention of corrosion is expected to bring down the operating and maintenance costs for the pipelines, thereby supporting efficiency of the system.
It uses locally sourced solvents which enables quick transportation and lesser lead times, and can be implemented in both upstream and downstream process streams.
The innovation is compatible with injection packages, and commonly used metallurgies. It claimed to be safe to handle and store in hot climates.
GE Power & Water chemical and monitoring solutions general manager for water and process technologies Kevin Cassidy said: "GE continues to push ahead to develop unique oilfield production chemical solutions.
