pH-Based Control of the Kinetics and Process Safety of the Highly Exothermic Reaction Between Ammonium Chloride and Sodium Nitrite for Flow-Assurance Applications

Abstract: Summary The highly exothermic reaction between ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) has an important application in the area of flow assurance. Because of the high heat generation, this reaction has been used as a heat source for the fluidization of low-melting-point deposits formed during oil and gas production. Because this reaction is strongly pH dependent, the incorrect choice of pH can result in an uncontrollable temperature increase caused by the system’s inability to dissi… Show more
