System and Method for Chemical Injection Paths

Abstract

An alternative chemical injection path system that includes a conduit and a manifold. The conduit has a first injection point configured at a first distance from a first end of the conduit and a second injection point configured at a second distance from the first end, with the second distance being different than the first distance. The manifold has an inlet and first and second outlets. The inlet is configured for receiving a chemical, while the first outlet is fluidly coupled to the first injection point, and the second outlet is fluidly coupled to the second injection point. The manifold is configured to distribute the chemical to the first injection point and the second injection point according to a location of a clog in the conduit.
