FLOWLINE VRx™
(Pipeline Viscosity & Drag Reduction)
Flowline VRX™ is a revolutionary new reliquification product designed specifically for oil transfer flowline deposition. Flowline VRX™ was developed by ENTECH scientists and engineers to remove asphaltene and paraffin deposits in oil flow lines by reliquifying the deposits.
How it works:
The reliquification is accomplished by breaking down the chemical bonds which exist between individual carbon chains and substituting smaller carbon chains in their place carried by Flowline VRX™. Flowline VRX™ reliquifies the hydrocarbon chain in the deposit on contact, reducing asphaltene and paraffin deposits. This reduction aids in reducing underdeposit corrosion, increases flowline size, increases flow rate and reduces sludge layers along pipe walls.
Applications:
- Flowline “pigging”
- Continuous flowline injection
- Oil flow lines from ships
- Oil flow lines to battery tanks
Benefits:
- Rapid line clean-up
- Reduce oil viscosity / increase flow rate
- Non-toxic
- Biodegradable
- Raises API specific gravity
- No hazardous product handling
- Reduces heating or steam line requirements
