Abstract
A number of individual products or combination products for hydrostatic test applications are available depending on the conditions of the water and the preference of the operator. These products are most often oxygen scavengers, biocides and corrosion inhibitors. Recent reports have alluded to incompatibles existing between certain biocides and sulfite oxygen scavengers. In this paper the compatibility of the biocide tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulfate (THPS) and the oxygen scavenger ammonium bisulfite (ABS) were explored. Performance testing of both the biocide in the presence of the oxygen scavenger and the oxygen scavenger in the presence of biocide are reported.
