 Back Pressure Regulator (BPR)
BPRs spill off excess fluid that subsea or surface CIMVs do not flow.
As pressure rises in the discharge line, the BPR will maintain
pressure levels at set point while allowing the unused fluid to return
to the tank.
Designed to allow chemicals to flow back to tank continuously and
ensure enough pressure to drive all CIMVs in the Chemical Injection
System.
To ensure pressure build up in the pump discharge line feeding the
CIMVs, pump output must be adjusted to 10% or 15% greater than
expected injection flow rates.

Basics
 Chemical Injection Systems -Basics
What are our objectives?
1. Pipeline Integrity
a. Prevent pipeline and equipment degradation due to corrosion

2. Flow Assurance
a. Maintain optimal flow with minimal management (lowest cost)

3. Achieve 1 & 2 above at Lowest Long-Term Operating Cost

a. Injection flow rate accuracy for precise chemical dosing (What
are the consequences of overdosing? Under dosing?)

Goal of a good chemical injection valve
Maintain constant flow rate

Challenges of chemical injection

1. Debris and filming: very low flow rate, high pressure drops, results in
control surfaces that are essentially touching, typically less than 20
micron.
2. Varying pressures: increasing the pressure drop across a valve will
result in an increased flow rate.
Upstream pressure increases and the flow of chemical injected into
the flow line increases, resulting in over-dosing.
Downstream pressure increases and the flow of chemical injected
into the flow line decreases, resulting in under-dosing.
