Operation experience of protectors for oil reservoirs made of recycled aluminum alloys
The paper deals with the issues of using recycled aluminum alloys as protectors. The paper gives the characteristics of alloys, selection criteria for dimension-types and properties in case of using them the for oil reservoirs protection. The paper shows the protector designs, dimension-types and special features of using them in various operation conditions. Characteristics of protectors made of recycled aluminum alloys are represented. Testing is performed in order to determine the self-digestion velocity of protector alloys and relationships between protector potential and solution concentration are defined. Recommendations for defining the material design of protectors are given, as well as their dimension-types and application area depending on the oil-product storage conditions.
