Polyacrylate based Super Absorbent Polymer – Its Application & Usage

  Recently, materials science has made significant advances, with numerous applications across various industries. One such innovation that has gained enormous attention is polyacrylate-based superabsorbent polymers. They are extraordinary substances that possess the remarkable capacity to absorb and retain large quantities of liquids, which can prove vital in a variety of different sectors, right from personal care products, agriculture to medical applications and beyond. Polyacrylate based Super Absorbent Polymer is composed up of acrylic acid blended with sodium hydroxide to form a three-dimensional network structure that can absorb 300 – 400 times water and retain large amounts of liquid relative to its own weight. The ability of water retention polymer depends upon the ionic concentration of an aqueous solution.   These polymers, also known as SAP, play a crucial role in water management, moisture retention, and enhancing the efficiency of various industries. Let us understa

Use of Speciality Chemicals In Oilfields & Refinery Plants

  Increased demand for oil & gas, exploration of unconventional resources, complex reservoir conditions, and stricter environmental regulations have driven the demand for speciality chemicals, resulting in their market expansion. The oilfield industry is subjected to most critical processes and operational procedures, hence calling for easy, smooth, and sophisticated methods for exploitation. Use of speciality chemicals can be considered as one of the methods. These chemicals and their ongoing innovation also play a key role in the continuous growth of the world economy. Oilfield and refinery chemicals have enormous attention over the last few years because of their role in hydrocarbon recovery. Three main categories of these chemicals are Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream. Upstream involves the exploration and production of oil and gas resources. Midstream involves activities related to the construction and operation of pipelines, and storage facilities, ensuring the effic

Chemicals used In Boiler, Cooling Tower, RO Plant & ETP

  Boilers, Cooling Towers, Reverse Osmosis Plants, and Effluent Treatment plants are essential for various industries to optimize the essential system. These systems require chemicals to enhance operational efficiency, optimize membrane life expectancy and reduce maintenance costs. This blog helps you to understand the key chemicals for each system and their significance in maintaining their performance. Chemicals for Boiler Boilers generate steam to generate power for industries. The capacity of boiler that are installed depends upon the type of industries.  The main issue with them is that they are prone to scaling, corrosion, fouling, and many more that can lead to reducing the capacity of steam production, reason being the quality of water used. To avoid such adverse instances, chemical treatment of water is required. Oxygen Scavengers : These chemicals help to remove dissolved oxygen from the boiler water, preventing corrosion and reducing the alkalinity of the feed water.
