Paraffin Control Technologies

Paraffin control solutions that enhance performance at reduced dose rates - keep production in flow

Crude oils naturally contain saturated hydrocarbon fractions also called wax or paraffin. During production, the crude cools down as it flows from the hot reservoir to the cooler surface. During this cooling process, wax crystallization can occur resulting in wax deposition and/or a subsequent increase in viscosity – making it more difficult, if not impossible for the oil to flow uniformly though the pipeline. The effects of this wax deposition and build-up create constant and costly problems. in reservoir, wellbore, production tubing and surface flow lines.

Clariant Oil Services’ innovative and customizable chemical technologies deliver paraffin control solutions that enhance performance at significantly reduced dose rates, alleviating paraffin build-up in pipeline systems.
