Paraffin Inhibitor Solution
Ensure Extended Production with Proven Paraffin Mitigation Solutions
Paraffin deposition occurs when waxy paraffin substances accumulate on the surfaces of oilfield equipment and pipelines. As crude oils cool, the wax molecules begin to separate, forming plate-like crystals or needle-like structures. These crystals have the tendency to interlock, creating a complex three-dimensional network that traps the oil. This leads to an increase in viscosity and, in severe cases, solidification of the oil. The deposition of paraffin can significantly impact production efficiency, increase maintenance expenses, and even result in equipment failure if not properly addressed.
Our comprehensive range of solutions, including solvents, cold flow improvers, dispersants, crystal modifiers, pour point depressants (PPD), and viscosity reducers, are specifically designed to tackle and resolve the production challenges associated with paraffin-related issues.
PPDs intervene in the crystallization process, preventing the formation of these networks and effectively lowering the pour point of the crude oil.
By influencing the crystal morphology, wax inhibitors promote the formation of weaker wax deposits that can be more readily removed by shear forces within the flowing crude.
Wax dispersants can reduce the amount of wax deposits in flowlines by different mechanisms depending on their chemical nature. Some will adsorb to pipeline surfaces thereby changing the wettability to water-wet. Others will adsorb to growing wax crystal surfaces reducing the tendency of the crystals to agglomerate.
At Dosas, we’ve engineered EmendaFlow™ to tackle the challenges of paraffin deposits that risk flow assurance in oilfields. Our paraffin inhibitors undergo rigorous testing—including Cold Finger, Cloud Point, Pressure Drop, and Flow Loop—to ensure they meet industry demands and perform effectively in real-world scenarios.
Our proven approach centers on the meticulous collection and analysis of field data, which forms the basis for developing targeted laboratory tests. This data-driven methodology enables us to identify the most effective treatment strategies. By integrating real-world insights with rigorous experimentation, we customize our solutions to address the unique challenges encountered in each scenario, ultimately maximizing efficiency and delivering quantifiable results.
