Corrosion inhibitor compositions and methods for inhibiting corrosion on a metal surface exposed to a hydrocarbon fluid are provided. The corrosion inhibitor composition can comprise 2-aminoterephthalic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide and heavy aromatic naphtha (HAN). In another embodiment, the composition can comprise 4-methylamino benzoic acid or 4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid, N-methyl pyrrolidone, and HAN. In the method, a corrosion inhibitor composition comprising 2-aminoterephthalic acid, 4-methylamino benzoic acid, or 4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid can be added to a hydrocarbon fluid exposed to the metal surface. The corrosion can be caused by naphthenic acid.

An apparatus to simulate biocide performance in crude oil pipeline conditions is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a reactor to simulate a two-phase crude oil pipeline which includes a crude oil phase above a water phase. The reactor has an agitator to control a flow of the water phase in the reactor in response to a motor that drives an agitation rate of the agitator. A crude oil inlet supplies crude oil to the reactor for the crude oil phase. A water inlet supplies water to the reactor for the water phase. A control circuit is configured by code to control a proportion of the water to the crude oil supplied to the reactor and to control the motor to drive a desired agitation rate of the agitator. A biocide inlet supplies biocide to the reactor. A water sample outlet enables sampling of the water phase of the reactor.
