Paraffin Inhibitors

Most crude oils contain paraffin in solution, and cooling causes paraffin crystals to clump together and build up on production equipment. If this is left untreated, the buildup will eventually shut off the flow of oil by completely plugging tubing and flow lines.

PPD 100

fatty ester of a high molecular weight co-polymer

Intermediate is a fatty ester of a high molecular weight co-polymer designed to effectively inhibit crystal formation in hydrocarbons. The product is designed to distort crystals during formation of solidifying with the high melting components such as micro-crystalline waxes and high molecular weight paraffins.

PPD 5242

acidic copolymer in aromatic naphtha

40% active acidic copolymer in aromatic naphtha that functions as a wax crystal modifier for crude oils and heavy fuels oils. The product PC 5242 also helps to disperse the paraffin deposits into the produced oil when added continuously.

PPD 5609

alkylated polyester amide/imide

40% active alkylated polyester amide/imide that functions as a wax crystal modifier for crude oils and heavy fuel oils. Can be used neat or diluted with heavy aromatic naphtha, toluene, or xylene for continuous or batch injection. Normally applied at concentrations of 100-2000 ppm to crude above its crystallization point or heated and mixed.

PD 816

blend of amines, alcohols, and sulfonates

100% active blend of amines, alcohols, and sulfonates used to formulate both oil- and water-soluble paraffin dispersants to treat paraffanic, asphaltenic, and/or naphthenic crude oil production.
