Hey folks, brine from salt layer dissolution has lots of corrosive chlorides, severely corroding water well drilling rig tools.
- Drill pipes and bits in brine suffer electrochemical corrosion, forming rust spots and holes, which weakens tools and shortens their life.
To prevent corrosion:
2. Use special anti-corrosion materials for tools, like chrome-plated drill pipes and stainless-steel bits. These form a protective film to isolate metal from brine.
3. Inject anti-corrosion mud into the borehole during drilling to neutralize brine’s corrosion and lubricate tools.
4. Regularly inspect and maintain tools, replacing damaged parts promptly—another effective protection measure.water well drilling rig
