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 efficient and safe movement of oil and gas from production sites to refineries or end users. Downstream sector handles the refining, processing, and distribution of oil and gas products. Speciality Chemicals come up with drilling optimization, enhanced oil recovery, metal protection, fluid stabilization, and various other concern. These chemicals are used in oil & gas extraction operations to enhance their efficiency and productivity.

Let us understand the impact quotient of these speciality chemicals used in oil and gas industries

·         Higher yield in production at drilling sites and refinery processes, with minimal dosing and application

·         Optimum protection to metallic surfaces from highly corrosive agents that comes out during crude oil extraction

·         Lesser exposure to toxic chemicals

·         Nearly cent percent extraction within limited operational steps

·         Zero to negligible toxic waste, eliminates costly remediation, hazardous leftovers, and end-of-the-pipe treatments

·         Significantly reduced use of landfills with hazardous wastes causing no harm to the environment, eco-system

·         Saves time and assures monetary benefits for the owners and stakeholders Chemtex Speciality Limited offers a comprehensive range of oilfield and refinery chemicals that can boost production and quality, reduce costs and downtime, and increase profitability.

RO Antiscalant

Reverse Osmosis serves as one of the most critical processes that are involved in the process water treatment to clean water, utilized in various industrial process applications. Reverse Osmosis can be regarded as the process wherein semi-permeable membranes help in separating purified water from contaminated water. It occurs when a pressure is applied to the concentrated side of the membrane resulting in forcing purified water to the dilute side. Reverse Osmosis is very efficient for the treatment of brackish, surface and ground water for both large and small flow applications. Some examples of industries that use RO water include boiler feed water, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, metal finishing and semiconductor manufacturing to mention a few. The overall performance of a reverse osmosis system relies on various factors like feed water quality, membrane type, flow control, temperature and pressure. Systems must be well maintained for ensuring effective performance with any

Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) Coolant

Optimal use of machines is directly proportional to its engine performance. What an engine does is it converts the supplied energy into its mechanical form, driving the machine to work. Engines require one-third of total heat that is generated during conversion and the rest of the heat is needed to be evacuated from the combustion chamber which would otherwise lead to engine failure. Earlier, water was preferred as an ideal coolant for quite a period of time but the problem started to arise when the temperature would become extremely high or low, to be precise temperature more than 100 ° C and below 0°C. To get rid of this problem, coolants were formulated. Coolants are categorized chemicals that increases the boiling point of the fluid and decreases the freezing point of the fluid to make it suitable for use in extreme heat and freezing conditions. Coolants are a proportionate mixture of antifreeze and solvent, mainly glycol and water. Ideally utilized as a preventive in

Antiscalant Chemical for RO Plant

  Reverse Osmosis System is a revolutionary invention to treat water and provide an effective solution for purifying water in various applications. The performance of RO can be ensured by the formation of scale and deposits on the membranes, leading to reduced efficiency and increased operational costs.   To prevent this issue, antiscalant chemicals play an important role in reducing the formation of scale and maintaining optimal RO Plant performance. Reverse Osmosis is widely used in various industries to treat water and to remove impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. The dense, thin, and semi-permeable layer allows water molecules to pass through while rejecting dissolved solids, and other impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants. But the major issue that surfaces in such systems is the formation of scales due to the build-up of dissolved minerals and salts on the surface of the RO Membrane. RO Antiscalant Chemicals – Cost-effective Soluti
