VpCI^® for Oil, Gas and Process Industries

In oil and gas operations, corrosion costs are measured not just in replacement parts but in production downtime, re-commissioning delays, and environmental compliance. When a pipeline is hydrotested and left wet, flash rust can appear within hours. When a platform is stacked, every exposed internal surface is vulnerable.

Traditional preservation methods — nitrogen blanketing, chemical pickling, oil-based rust preventatives — are expensive, logistically complex, and often involve hazardous materials that create their own disposal and compliance problems. Many operators accept corrosion damage as inevitable and budget for re-commissioning rework.

Cortec VpCI® technology changes that equation. Water-soluble and powder VpCI formulations treat pipelines, vessels, and tanks from the inside — protecting all internal surfaces including welds, crevices, and dead legs that conventional methods miss. The products are non-toxic, biodegradable, and dramatically reduce the time and cost of bringing equipment back into service.
