In this research work, the electrochemical evaluation of a non-ionic gemini surfactant as a green corrosion inhibitor for X100 pipeline steel in CO2-saturated brine solution was carried out by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization curves (PPC). The corrosion inhibition performance of the gemini surfactant was studied in static and hydrodynamic conditions at room temperature and 60 °C. Electrochemical measurements showed that the inhibitor’s performance was enhanced with increasing inhibitor concentration and with increasing exposure time at room temperature, reaching the highest inhibition efficiency (η) at 100 ppm. With increasing temperature, the inhibitor efficiency decreased, with similar behavior at all concentrations. The analysis of the cathodic polarization curves at different rotation speeds showed the strong influence of mass transport on the cathodic process in the absence and the presence of the inhibitor. Under hydrodynamic conditions, PPC and EIS results indicated that the best inhibitor performance was with a concentration of 50 ppm, achieving a maximum inhibition efficiency of 91%. The adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on the surface obeyed the Langmuir isotherm, and the type of adsorption was mixed in all the study conditions. Surface characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the formation of a protective corrosion inhibitor film.
