ChemSmart®: So You Can Treat Only When You Need To

Why treat a problem that doesn’t exist?

Traditional treatment programs treat the problem as their fixed or the same 24/7.

With ChemSmart®, OGS uses automation, sensors, and real-time data to trigger treatment only when conditions require it. Whether monitoring acid gas levels, flow conditions, or other operating parameters, the system helps ensure chemicals are applied when they’re needed, not simply because it’s time.

The result is a more efficient treatment program, improved system performance, and reduced chemical consumption without sacrificing protection.

Smarter data. Smarter decisions. Smarter treatment.

What Is ChemSmart® and How Does It Reduce Chemical Usage?

Most treatment programs react to problems after they happen.

ChemSmart® was designed to change that.

By combining continuous monitoring, sensor data, and automated treatment, ChemSmart® helps operators identify changing conditions and respond when action is needed, not simply treat on a fixed schedule.

The result? Better visibility into system performance, more efficient chemical usage, and a proactive approach to apply a solution when and how much is needed.

At OGS, data drives decisions. ChemSmart® helps turn that data into action.

You Wouldn’t Wax a Dirty Car

You wouldn’t wax a dirty car, would you? So why put corrosion inhibitor in a dirty pipeline or system?

The same principle applies to corrosion control.

One of the biggest drivers of corrosion is under-deposit corrosion. When buildup, solids, or contamination create conditions that allow corrosion to occur beneath the surface.

That’s why OGS focuses on more than applying corrosion inhibitors. We monitor deposition rates, corrosion trends, and system cleanliness to understand what’s actually driving the problem.

Because if a corrosion inhibitor can’t reach the metal surface, it has a much harder time doing its job.

Get the system clean. Then protect it.

That’s how long-term corrosion control starts.

Most operators don’t realize black powder is often a symptom of a bigger problem.

Black powder is commonly formed when corrosion occurs inside pipelines and vessels, creating iron sulfide deposits that can impact performance and system reliability.

That’s why OGS focuses on more than cleanup. Our approach is designed to remove corrosion byproducts, restore clean metal surfaces, and apply protection that helps prevent the problem from returning.

Because solving the problem is always better than treating the symptoms.

One of the biggest mistakes operators make?

Assuming a corrosion inhibitor is protecting the pipe when it’s actually sitting on top of deposits.

Over time, paraffin, scale, and other debris can build up inside a pipeline. If those deposits aren’t removed first, corrosion inhibitors may never reach the bare metal surface where protection is needed most.

That’s why OGS focuses on more than treatment alone. We help operators get systems clean, verify what’s actually happening inside the line, and build programs designed to reduce under-deposit corrosion and improve long-term performance.

Because putting film on top of pipeline deposits isn’t the same as protecting pipe.

The most expensive problems are often the ones hiding underneath the obvious ones.

An emulsion, corrosion issue, or operational upset is often a symptom. Not the root cause.

At OGS, we focus on understanding what’s actually driving the problem before recommending a solution. Whether it’s scale formation, corrosion byproducts, incompatible waters, or another underlying issue, solving the root cause is almost always more effective than stacking treatment on top of treatment.

Because eventually, band-aids stop working.

The goal isn’t to manage symptoms. The goal is to eliminate the problem.

Most operators aren’t doing it wrong.

They’re doing what they’ve always done.

At OGS, we challenge assumptions, dig into the data, and focus on solving the root cause, not just managing symptoms. That’s what makes our approach different.

Chemistry has a place but shouldn’t be the foundation.

Great solutions consider all elements:
• Sometimes it's recommending operational changes

• Often times equipment is more effective

• Automation can make even more improvements

At OGS, chemistry is one tool in a larger strategy built on testing, data, and continuous evaluation.

Because systems change and solutions need to contain all the best components whether that's testing, equipment, or automation.
