API TR 17TR6

Description

This document identifies and specifies the essential attributes of production chemicals intended to be introduced to subsea oil and gas production systems. The document is intended for use by chemical suppliers to facilitate the provision of chemicals compatible with existing and intended subsea production systems (SPS) although it is envisaged that use of the document for specification purposes by the operators of such processes, will assist in ensuring the completeness of requests to supply. This document specifies parameters that address manufacture, storage and transportation of the production chemical, as well as its deployment using the SPS chemical injection system. The document provides for two approaches, requiring that parameters be either: 1. Measured and reconciled with SPS design and operation, or 2. Meet, or exceed, acceptance criteria specified, either in this document or by manufacturers of production chemicals or equipment used to deliver production chemicals. This
