Introduction to Oilfield Chemicals – Chemtex Speciality Limited

  Evolving innovation in oilfield chemicals is one of the key reasons for an exponential growth of the sector. Projected to hit $35 billion market size by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 3.2%, the demand of speciality chemicals will be on surge in coming times, with rise in demand for oil & gas feedstock. The progress in field exploration and deep-water drilling advancements will only add to the rise. The industry undergoes most critical processes and operational procedures, and thereby requires easy, smooth and sophisticated methods for exploitation. As a consequence, speciality chemicals for oil and gas have gained enormous attention in recent years, owing to the extensive role they have in hydrocarbon recovery which contributes to the economic growth of state affairs. Three main categories of this industry are Upstream, Midstream and Downstream, where Upstream deals with exploration and production, Midstream with transportation through pipelines and Downstream sector in

NSF Certified Inhibited Propylene Glycol Antifreeze – Chemtex Speciality Limited

Propylene Glycol is a synthetic liquid used in a wide range of applications such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and manufacturing industries. It is an alcohol that absorbs water and mixes with many solvents, made primarily made by treating propylene oxide from refining petroleum with water. However, propylene glycol is corrosive in nature and oxidizes into five organic acids when exposed to air. Those acids (Glycolic, Glyoxalic, Formic, Carbonic, Oxalic) are highly corrosive and chemically attacks the metal system, causing pitting, pinhole and stress cracking corrosion. Inhibited Propylene Glycol Antifreeze , manufactured by Chemtex Speciality Limited under the brand name “TONO FROST 593” finds extensive use in process cooling and heating systems finding extensive usage as heat-transfer fluid in Food & Beverage industries, such as Beverages & Juices, Breweries & Distilleries, Dairy & Ice Cream, Packaged Food, Fish Processing Units, Pharmaceutical & Bulk Drug

Role of Polyelectrolytes in Wastewater Treatment

  Effluent Treatment or Industrial wastewater treatment consists of mechanisms and processes which are used to treat water that have been contaminated by anthropogenic, industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment. Industrial wastewater serves as one of the important pollution sources that add up in polluting the water environment. The sewage sludge produced is subjected to sludge treatment. Many problems are associated with wastewater collection and treatment such as foaming, solid accumulation, high BOD, sludge de-watering, heavy metals and offensive odour.   But such treatments are no more complicated processes, since there are chemicals that are applicable for the treatment. These chemicals follow various treatment mechanisms in various different standards, which include from chemically treating raw wastewater before discharging it into the environment, to recovering valuable resources from sludge treatment and wastewater.
