Injection quills purpose, specifications and design

What is the purpose of an injection quill? Why is an injection quill required?

Injection quill causes turbulence and allows the chemical to be dispensed into this turbulent stream, allowing for faster mixing and preventing large concentrations of the chemical from being deposited along the pipe’s wall. Corrosion and premature process pipe failure can result from chemical accumulation within a pipe.

Retractable injection quills allow chemical injection into a process fluid stream without disrupting, halting, or depressurizing the present process. This allows chemical to be injected into a system sooner and more cost effectively, rather than needing to wait for or force a shutdown in order to begin adding chemical to the process.

Depending on the operation, injection quills may include extra components such as isolation and bleed valves that allow the trapped or pressured chemical to be bled-off and a flush fluid to be passed through the quill prior to withdrawing the quill from the process.

Injection quills can be used to inject almost any chemical, including methanol, corrosion inhibitors, and anti-scalants, which are used to avoid freezing, reduce corrosion, and reduce scaling on the internal cavity of pipes, as well as a wide range of other process chemicals used in refineries, upgraders, petrochemical, water and wastewater plants, mines, and a variety of manufacturing processes.

How do injection quills improve safety?

Fixed or retractable quills with an isolation and/or bleed valve built in will allow for the safe release of trapped or excess chemical to a drain or safe disposal place or container. Retractable quills with a threaded guide enable for pressure-free removal. This means that the quill is trapped and controlled while being removed and will not shoot-out under pressure, perhaps causing harm.

Experienced engineers will collect and review all pertinent data to ensure that appropriate materials are used and that the design is optimal and safe for the process circumstances. This includes, but is not limited to, calculating wake frequencies and examining fluid compositions, flow, velocity, temperatures, and pressures.

Quill Specification and Design

By defining key variables at the start of the project, quill specification can be performed fast and effortlessly. In general, identifying a few basic specification parameters is required at the injection quill scoping phase. A qualified injection quill specialist, such as Crystal Industrial Syndicate, can assist you in rapidly and efficiently determining the following information:

What sort of quill is suitable for your application? Is it fixed or retractable?
What is the quill insertion length, design pressure, and design temperature?
For the injected chemical, determine its flowrate, chemical name, viscosity, compatibility, and pressure.
Also determine flowrate, chemical name, viscosity, compatibility, and pressure of the main process chemical.
How big is the process pipe that’s being used?
Injected Quill Connection: validate details on the connection type (Flange or MNPT/FNPT), material, and connection size.
Confirm the height of the connection face from the surface of the process pipe (or the current valve), as well as the kind of connection (Flange or MNPT/FNPT), material, and connection size.
The costing, design, and production of the quills can commence once the above information is confirmed.

Inserting corrosion inhibitors into oil pipeline

There are several ways to insert corrosion inhibitors into an oil pipeline:

Injection quills: These are long, thin tubes that are inserted into the pipeline through a service valve. The corrosion inhibitor is then injected through the quill and into the pipeline.
Injection pumps: These are specialized pumps that are used to inject corrosion inhibitors into the pipeline. The corrosion inhibitor is usually added to the pump’s reservoir and then pumped into the pipeline under pressure.
Injection points: These are specialized fittings that are installed at strategic locations along the pipeline. The corrosion inhibitor is injected into the pipeline through these fittings using a hand pump or other injecting device.
Automatic injection systems: These are systems that automatically inject corrosion inhibitors into the pipeline on a predetermined schedule or based on predetermined conditions (such as the pH of the fluid in the pipeline).
Tank mixing: In this method, the corrosion inhibitor is added to the pipeline fluid in the storage tank before the fluid is pumped into the pipeline.

It’s worth noting that each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the best method for a particular application will depend on a variety of factors, including the type and condition of the pipeline, the characteristics of the corrosion inhibitor, and the availability of specialized equipment.

What precautions have to be taken while while inserting corrosion inhibitors into an oil pipeline?

There are several precautions that should be taken when inserting corrosion inhibitors into an oil pipeline:

Wear protective equipment: When handling corrosion inhibitors, it’s important to wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, and a breathing mask. Some corrosion inhibitors can be harmful if they come into contact with skin or if they are inhaled.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions: It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for handling and using the corrosion inhibitors. This will help ensure that the inhibitors are used safely and effectively.
Use the correct dosage: It’s important to use the correct dosage of corrosion inhibitors to ensure that they are effective at preventing corrosion. Using too much or too little of the inhibitor can have negative consequences.
Monitor the pipeline: After injecting corrosion inhibitors into the pipeline, it’s important to monitor the pipeline to ensure that the inhibitors are working as intended. This may involve taking regular samples of the fluid in the pipeline and analyzing them for corrosion.
Follow proper safety procedures: When working with any type of chemical, it’s important to follow proper safety procedures to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries. This may include things like maintaining proper ventilation, using appropriate personal protective equipment, and following emergency response procedures.

Chemical injection quills from Crystal Industrial

I’d like to tell you about the chemical injection quill, which is a less-common product in the industry, to help users make good plans and technical evaluations.

What is a chemical injection quill?
Chemical injection quill is a piece of machinery used in the chemical injection process, which is used in many different industries. It is a piece of equipment that connects the chemical supply line to the process pipeline. The chemicals that are injected are controlled to cause a chemical reaction, and the quill helps to spread these chemicals through the process pipeline.

Types of applications
Chemical injection is used for many things, like adding additives, treatment with chemicals or biological fluids, and removing or separating things. Here are some examples of chemicals that are used in the process of oil/gas injection:

Methanol
Used to stop hydrates from forming. When hydrate solidifies, it can slow down or stop the flow in wells and flowlines.

Corrosion inhibitors
Used to stop corrosion from happening in wells and pipelines, which cuts down on downtime.

H2S scavenger
Used to treat oil and gas by lowering the amount of H2S to protect health and stop corrosion.

The injection quill could have different shapes, connections, and fittings, such as: From a simple custom-built tube/probe to a single unit with isolation valves and valves that don’t let fluid back in. As part of what we do best, we make an unified chemical injection quill with a probe, double block & bleed assembly ( and 2 isolation valves), and an integral non-return check valve, all in one tight assembly.

This type of quill is attached to the pipeline through a fitting so that the quill or probe can be inserted and reach the middle of the process line. The other end is connected to the chemical feed line by pipes or tubes that go all the way back to the chemical injection skid or chemical Dosing package, which holds the pump and chemical tank.

While an injection quill is designed, the following points must be taken into account:

Design calculation
The wake frequency is calculated using the standard ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2010 for Thermowell, since the quill is very comparable to it. Since the design has to take into account both temperature and stress, the customer should give the necessary process data (fluid, temperature, pressure, velocity, flow rate, density, viscosity). If the calculation isn’t good enough, you can also use a support collar to get a great outcome. A poorly made quill can break quickly and need to be replaced.

Material
The grade of the material should be right for both the service and the type of chemical that will be injected. Since the quill, DBB, and check valve are all part of the same assembly, you need to look at several parameters just like you would for an isolation valve. This includes the body of the valve and its trim, whether it has a soft seat or a metal seat, etc. A bad choice of material grade is the cause of many mechanical problems.

Isolation is safe
There are designs for quills that don’t have an isolation valve built in or that only have a single isolation. In some applications and media, a DBB valve that is built in is important to improve safety. So it is with the Injection Quill, which is installed in API 6A wellheads with a pressure rating of 10,000 psi. When talking about safety, the way the valve seals and how much it leaks are very important. We have a routine customer for injection quills who needs API PSL 3G PR2 because the gas service is very sour. This testing and quality standard is very unique and not something that all manufacturers can meet.

Dimension
The length of the quill is one of the most important things to know when figuring out the wake frequency. Most of the time, the length is made as per custom choice. Most of the time, the chemical is spread out well when the nozzles are in the middle of the pipeline.

Nozzles
The usual tubes or nozzles are used as the standard for the injection quill. But some applications or users need nozzles that are specially made for better atomization.

Options for mounting
There are different ways to mount it. It could be welded, threaded or flanged, depending on the design, but we must make sure that the outside diameter (OD) of the quill or probe will fit all the way down to the process stream. In one case, the outside diameter (O.D.) of the quill or probe did not fit because the welding penetration took into account the small tolerances. Also, threaded connections are usually not the best choice for very high pressure.

Injection quills and their applications?

Injection quills are used in the oil and gas industry to inject fluids into pipelines for a variety of purposes. These purposes include corrosion control, scale inhibition, and enhanced oil recovery. Injection quills are typically made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or plastic and are designed to be inserted into the pipeline through a fitting called a spool piece. The quill has one or more openings through which the fluid can be injected, and the rate of injection can be controlled using valves or other flow control devices. Injection quills are used in both onshore and offshore oil and gas operations and are an important tool for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of pipelines.

One common application of injection quills in the oil and gas industry is corrosion control. Corrosion is a natural process that occurs when metal pipelines are exposed to the elements, such as water, oxygen, and acidic or basic fluids. Corrosion can weaken the pipeline and create leaks, which can be dangerous and costly. To prevent corrosion, oil and gas companies may inject corrosion inhibitors into the pipeline using injection quills. These inhibitors form a protective layer on the metal surface, preventing the corrosion process from occurring.

Another application of injection quills in the oil and gas industry is scale inhibition. Scale is a buildup of minerals and other substances on the inside of pipelines, which can occur when water is present. Scale can restrict the flow of fluids through the pipeline and cause it to become less efficient. To prevent scale buildup, oil and gas companies may inject scale inhibitors into the pipeline using injection quills. These inhibitors prevent the minerals from sticking to the surface of the pipeline, keeping it clean and unobstructed.

Injection quills are also used in the oil and gas industry for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). EOR is a process that involves injecting fluids into an oil reservoir to increase the amount of oil that can be extracted. There are several types of fluids that can be used for EOR, including water, steam, and gases such as carbon dioxide. Injection quills are used to inject these fluids into the reservoir, often at high pressure, to increase the pressure within the reservoir and force more oil to flow out of the well.

In addition to these main applications, injection quills can also be used for other purposes in the oil and gas industry. For example, they can be used to inject cleaning fluids into pipelines to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants. They can also be used to inject gases such as nitrogen or hydrogen into pipelines to create a protective atmosphere or to flush out the pipeline.

Overall, injection quills are an important tool in the oil and gas industry, providing a safe and efficient way to inject fluids into pipelines. They are used for a variety of purposes, including corrosion control, scale inhibition, and enhanced oil recovery, and are an essential part of maintaining the integrity and efficiency of pipelines.

Retractable injection quills: types and materials

Retractable injection quills from Crystal Industrial Syndicate are devices that are used to inject liquids or gases into a pressurized system, such as a piping system in a chemical plant. They typically consist of a needle or nozzle that can be inserted into the system through a small opening, and a mechanism for retracting the needle or nozzle when it is not in use. The main advantage of retractable injection quills is that they allow the user to inject fluids into the system without having to disconnect or open the system, which can reduce the risk of spills or leaks and make the injection process more efficient.

With retractable injection quills, the quill can be pulled out and put back in without having to depressurize the whole process. This is a very useful feature for people who work with chemicals like sodium hypochlorite, ammonia, and polymer that tend to clog.

Crystal Industrial Syndicate manufactures world-class retractable injection quills. Our retractable injection quills come in 4 main varieties.

STANDARD SERVICE RETRACTABLE
They can be used in a wide variety of chemical treatment applications because they can be made in different sizes and out of different materials.

HEAVY SERVICE RETRACTABLE
For purposes with longer insertion lengths, greater pressures, turbulent flows, and other harsh conditions.

HIGH CORROSION RESISTANT
More options for materials that can stand up to high chloride and other aggressive chemicals in process flows.

FLANGED RETRACTABLE
A durable design that uses a 250 psi dual-bolt restraint and a guide pipe assembly that helps support the restraint.

With retractable injectors, the injection quill can be put in or taken out while the system is still under pressure. It c Can be used when there is no way to turn off the pressure in the line. The employment of this removable injection quill enhances injection and diffusion and makes it possible to inject corrosive chemicals into a pipeline without hurting the pipe or threaded port at the injection point. When injected into the pipe’s centre stream, the chemicals are spread out more evenly because the pipe’s speed is higher and more turbulent.

In the past, this variety of retractable injector was called a “corporation stop injector.” However, high-quality ball valves have many benefits over the older model that utilizes a corporation stop for the valve that turns the flow off. The ball valve nipple will have a smaller space between the quill and the valve. This will make it less likely for the pipe to rattle when there is turbulence in the flow.

Available in 34″, 1″, 1-1/2″, and 2″ sizes, as well as custom sizes that are larger.

Construction materials for retractable injection quills
Retractable injection quills can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the specific application and the properties of the fluid being injected. Some common materials for injection quills include stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and plastic. The choice of material may be based on factors such as the temperature and pressure of the system, the chemical compatibility of the material with the injected fluid, and the mechanical strength and durability of the quill. In some cases, injection quills may be coated or lined with materials that provide additional chemical resistance or improve the sealing properties of the device.

Retractable injection quills are made from the following materials:

Titanium
316L S.S.
Hastelloy C-276
Kynar
Alloy 20
CPVC
PVC

Why do you need a service valve to install injection quills?

A service valve is a type of valve that is used to isolate a section of piping or other equipment for maintenance or repair. In the context of using retrievable tools to insert an injection quill, the service valve allows the operator to isolate the section of piping where the injection quill is being inserted, which makes it easier to perform the maintenance or repair work. The service valve also provides a means of shutting off the flow of fluid through the piping if necessary, which can be important for safety reasons.

What materials are service valves made of?

Service valves can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the specific application and the fluids being handled. Some common materials used for service valves include:

Carbon steel: This is a strong and durable material that is often used for service valves in industrial applications.
Stainless steel: This is a corrosion-resistant material that is often used in service valves for handling corrosive fluids.
Bronze: This is a strong and corrosion-resistant material that is often used for service valves in marine and offshore applications.
Plastic: Plastic service valves can be made from a variety of materials, including PVC, polypropylene, and others. Plastic valves are often used in applications where corrosion resistance is not a concern, and they are generally less expensive than metal valves.

It’s also worth noting that service valves can be coated or plated with other materials to improve their performance in certain applications. For example, a carbon steel valve might be coated with a layer of zinc or another corrosion-resistant material to improve its performance in a corrosive environment.

What are the different kinds of service valves used with injection quills?

There are several types of service valves that can be used with chemical injection quills. Some of the most common types include:

Injection quills protect gas pipelines from corrosion

How do injection quills protect gas pipelines from corrosion

Gas pipelines are an essential part of the energy infrastructure, and it’s crucial to ensure their integrity and longevity. One of the major threats to the integrity of gas pipelines is corrosion, which can cause leaks, explosions, and other hazards. Injection quills are a common method used to protect gas pipelines from corrosion.

Corrosion occurs when a metal reacts with its environment, leading to the formation of rust or other forms of degradation. In the case of gas pipelines, corrosion can occur due to exposure to water, oxygen, bacteria, and other agents. To prevent this, pipeline operators use corrosion inhibitors, which are chemicals that form a barrier on the surface of the pipe and prevent corrosion-causing agents from coming into contact with the metal.

Injection quills are devices that are installed along the pipeline, which are used to inject corrosion inhibitors into the gas at regular intervals. These quills are typically located near valves, flanges, and other areas where the pipeline is more vulnerable to corrosion. The inhibitors are injected into the pipeline through the quill, where they are carried along by the gas flow and distributed evenly along the pipeline. This helps to ensure that the entire pipeline is protected from corrosion.

There are different types of corrosion inhibitors that can be used, depending on the specific conditions of the pipeline. For example, zinc oxide inhibitors are commonly used in pipelines that transport natural gas, while amine-based inhibitors are often used in pipelines that transport sour gas (gas that contains hydrogen sulfide). Additionally, other types of chemical treatments can also be used, such as biocides, which are used to control the growth of microorganisms that can cause corrosion, and pH adjusters, which are used to control the acidity of the gas.

The use of injection quills helps to ensure that the corrosion inhibitors are distributed evenly along the pipeline, which helps to ensure that the entire pipeline is protected from corrosion. This is particularly important in pipelines that are located in areas where the environment is harsh and corrosive, such as in coastal regions or in areas with high levels of humidity. Additionally, injection quills can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of the corrosion inhibitors, as the operator can analyze samples of the gas to determine the concentration of the inhibitors.

In conclusion, injection quills are an essential tool for protecting gas pipelines from corrosion. They are used to inject corrosion inhibitors into the pipeline at regular intervals, which form a barrier on the surface of the pipe and prevent corrosion-causing agents from coming into contact with the metal. The use of injection quills helps to ensure that the entire pipeline is protected from corrosion, which is crucial for ensuring the integrity and longevity of the pipeline. Additionally, other types of chemical treatments can also be used, such as biocides and pH adjusters, to further protect the pipeline from corrosion.

Safety: Corrosion can weaken the structural integrity of a gas pipeline, which can increase the risk of leaks and explosions.
Environmental impact: Gas pipeline leaks can have serious environmental impacts, including air pollution, soil contamination, and water pollution. Protecting pipelines from corrosion can help reduce the risk of such leaks.
Maintenance and repair costs: Repairing or replacing a corroded gas pipeline can be expensive and time-consuming. Protecting pipelines from corrosion can help reduce the need for such repairs and the associated costs.
Reliability: Corrosion can cause gas pipelines to fail or become clogged, which can disrupt the flow of gas and cause service disruptions. Protecting pipelines from corrosion can help ensure reliable gas service.

Overall, protecting gas pipelines from corrosion is important for the safety, environmental health, and reliability of the gas distribution system.

What are the ways to protect gas pipelines from corrosion?

There are several ways to protect gas pipelines from corrosion:

Coatings: Applying a protective coating to the exterior of the pipeline can help prevent corrosion. There are several types of coatings that can be used, including epoxy coatings, polyurethane coatings, and fusion-bonded epoxy coatings.
Cathodic protection: This is a technique in which an electrical current is applied to the pipeline to inhibit corrosion. Cathodic protection systems typically involve the use of anodes (electrodes that are more susceptible to corrosion than the pipeline itself) and a rectifier (a device that converts alternating current to direct current).
Corrosion inhibitors: These are chemicals that are added to the gas in the pipeline to inhibit the corrosion process. There are several types of corrosion inhibitors that can be used, including organic inhibitors, inorganic inhibitors, and mixed inhibitors.
Materials selection: Choosing corrosion-resistant materials for the construction of the pipeline can help prevent corrosion. Stainless steel, aluminum, and some types of plastic are examples of materials that are resistant to corrosion.
Pipeline design: The design of the pipeline can also impact its susceptibility to corrosion. Factors such as the pipeline’s diameter, wall thickness, and the type of soil it is buried in can all affect corrosion rates.

It’s worth noting that no single method is likely to be completely effective at preventing corrosion in a gas pipeline. Therefore, it is usually necessary to use a combination of these methods to adequately protect the pipeline.
