Patent ID: 7407687

Claim:
A method of treating metallic surfaces of oil or gas recovery or conveying equipment, comprising the steps of: providing an anti-corrosion system including separate quantities of a first component including an epoxy resin active ingredient in a first compatible dispersant, and a second component including a curing agent active ingredient for the epoxy resin in a second compatible dispersant; initially contacting said metallic surfaces with one of said first and second components and causing the corresponding active ingredient to at least partially coat said metallic surfaces; passing a fluid separate from said first and second components over said at least partially coated metallic surfaces, said fluid selected from the group consisting of oil, natural gas, process water, and mixtures thereof; and after said initial contacting and fluid-passing steps, subsequently contacting said at least partially coated metallic surfaces with the other of said first and second components, and causing the active ingredients of said components to react with each other and generate an anti-corrosion layer.
