In recent years, two new families of chemical additives have been commercially developed to prevent hydrate plugging problems in production lines. This approach is commonly known as low-dose inhibition, and the two families are kinetic inhibitors and anti-agglomerants. Evolution of these new products is proceeding at a rapid pace, in order to meet goals of covering a greater range of operating conditions and finding an economically and environmentally attractive alternative to thermodynamic inhibition. Successful deployment of low-dose inhibitors depends on an appropriate selection of inhibitors and a complete understanding of the system. Based on a synthesis of available literature on application of low-dose inhibitors to hydrocarbon processing equipment and handling facilities, this paper describes a methodology for designing a deployment strategy. This guide provides a systematic approach to aid production engineers in deploying low-dose inhibitors in existing facilities and new developments. An easy-to-follow flow chart is given. The information provided in this article was compiled from published data, and experience provided by several companies in the oil and gas industry.
