Hypochlorite Corrosivity in Oil and Gas Applications

Using oxidizing biocides in industrial water treatment scenarios carries potential concerns with corrosion. All oxidizers, including chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, sodium hypochlorite, and ozone can be extremely corrosive towards metals in their commercial grade strengths. However, at the concentrations that are…
