A system includes a cooling tower, an algae inhibitor skid, and at least one pump fluidly connected between the cooling tower and the algae inhibitor skid. The algae inhibitor skid includes a first water tank containing a first water supply fluidly connected to the cooling tower and barley straw suspended within the first water tank above the first water supply.

The disclosure describes hydrocarbon flowline corrosion inhibitor overpressure protection. Such a protection system includes a fluid flow pathway fluidically coupled to a corrosion inhibitor injection pump that injections corrosion inhibitor into a hydrocarbon carrying flowline. When the injection pump pressure exceeds a threshold flow pressure, the corrosion inhibitor is flowed through a first branch of the fluid flow pathway to relieve the excess pressure. The first branch is fluidically isolated from a second branch. When a rupture disc in the first branch fails, then the corrosion inhibitor is diverted to flow through the second branch and the first branch is isolated from the corrosion inhibitor flow.
