Some implementations of the present disclosure prevent, reduce or at least slow equipment fouling using passivation as a treatment prior to contacting metallic components with hydrocarbon containing fluid, that is, an environment where fouling occurs. For example, one implementation includes a method of passivating heat exchangers in a SAGD process or system using the compositions and compounds of the present disclosure. The composition may be applied to a component prior to its first inclusion in an online system or following placing the system offline for maintenance. The composition may be used to treat metallic equipment surface(s), for example, via contacting them with a suspension or solution of the composition described herein, prior placing the system online. The method may further include treatment of the process fluid, for example, via injection or batch treatment of the composition with the compositions described herein into the process fluid.
                            本公开的某些实施例通过在与烃类含液体接触之前使用钝化作为处理方法来防止、减少或至少减缓设备污垢,即在污垢产生的环境中。例如,其中一种实施例包括使用本公开的组合物和化合物对
SAGD过程或系统中的换热器进行钝化的方法。在将组件首次纳入在线系统之前或将系统下线进行维护后,可以将该组合物应用于组件上。可以通过使用本文所述的组合物的悬浮液或溶液与其接触来处理
金属设备表面,例如在将系统上线之前。该方法还可以包括处理过程流体,例如通过将本文所述的组合物注入或批量处理到过程流体中。
