RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant PD 100
Product code RXSOL-81-3075-200
RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant is a solvent based products which is popular due to high wax solvency power
Description
RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx is a solvent based blend of anionic and non-ionic surfactants designed to disperse sludge deposits found within crude oil storage vessels, pipelines and well tubulars. RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx when mixed and circulated with hydrocarbon sludge, will aid in converting the sludge back into a marketable crude oil. Typical sludge deposits are composed of a mixture of waxes, asphaltenes, water, light hydrocarbons and solids. RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx acts to disrupt paraffin micelles that constitute the major source of viscosity for most typical hydrocarbon sludges.
Paraffin Wax Dispersant is a high-performance oil-soluble chemical treatment formulated for the control, dispersion and removal of paraffin/wax deposits encountered in crude-oil production, transportation, storage and processing systems.
The product is based on a synergistic combination of C10 aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, including a controlled naphthalene-containing aromatic fraction. The formulation provides strong solvency together with surface-active dispersing action to penetrate and loosen existing wax deposits and reduce the tendency of liberated paraffin crystals to agglomerate and redeposit on equipment surfaces.
Paraffin Wax Dispersant is particularly suitable for oilfield systems where paraffin precipitation can restrict flow, increase pressure drop, reduce production efficiency and cause fouling of pipelines, tubing, pumps, tanks, separators and associated hydrocarbon-handling equipment.
Application
Specifically designed to prevent wax and paraffin deposition, RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx keeps them dispersed preventing downstream plugging of flowlines and formations. This unique and innovative surfactant blend also enhances penetration of existing deposits aiding in their removal.
Application of Paraffin Dispersant:
- Crude-oil production wells
- Production tubing
- Flowlines
- Gathering lines
- Crude-oil pipelines
- Transfer lines
- Storage tanks
- Crude-oil tank bottoms
- Separators
- Pumps and valves
- Wellhead equipment
- Production manifolds
- Heat exchangers handling waxy hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbon processing equipment
- Tank and pipeline cleaning operations
- Offshore and onshore production facilities
An excellent oil soluble paraffin wax, sludge, heavy fuel oil HFO dispersant. Effectively absorbs the complete sludge and clears pipelines, tanks, etc.
Precautions
Why does WAX form inside crude pipelines and how to effectively remove such paraffin/heavy fuel oil matter?
Paraffin deposits generally form when the temperature of wax-containing crude oil falls below its Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT). Dissolved higher-molecular-weight paraffinic hydrocarbons begin to crystallize and may subsequently agglomerate and adhere to cooler metal surfaces.
Paraffin Wax Dispersant works through a combination of:
1. Solvent Penetration
The aromatic hydrocarbon solvent system penetrates wax deposits and assists in softening and dissolving hydrocarbon-soluble fractions.
2. Surface Wetting
The benzenesulfonic acid derivative improves wetting of wax-contaminated surfaces, allowing the solvent phase to penetrate deposits more efficiently.
3. Wax Dispersion
As deposits are loosened, the dispersing component helps separate wax particles and crystals and maintain them in the hydrocarbon phase.
4. Reduction of Redeposition
By maintaining loosened wax in a dispersed condition, the product helps reduce rapid reagglomeration and redeposition downstream.
