FLOW ASSURANCE ADDITIVES FOR CRUDE OIL PIPELINES

Flow assurance is crucial in maintaining uninterrupted transportation of wax-containing crude oils through long-distance pipelines, especially in low-temperature environments. Thermax provides a comprehensive range of flow assurance chemicals that enhance oil flowability by preventing wax precipitation, asphaltene deposition, and hydrate formation.
Our Key Flow Assurance Solutions
Pour Point Depressants / Flow Improvers / Rheology Modifiers
In-house developed polymers tailored for varying crude oil compositions.
- Reduce pour point and improve viscosity behavior at sub-zero temperatures
- Ensure smoother oil flow and prevent pipeline blockages
Paraffin Dispersants
Blend of surfactants and polymers to maintain paraffins in dispersed form.
- Prevents accumulation and wax buildup on pipeline walls
- Keeps pipelines clean and efficient for longer operation
Asphaltene Inhibitors
Specialized polymeric additive in hydrocarbon solvent.
- Effectively inhibits and disperses asphaltenes in heavy crude oil
- Minimizes the risk of blockages and operational inefficiencies
Hydrate Inhibitors
Amido amine salt-based chemistry for hydrate control.
- Prevents hydrate formation and deposition in cold pipeline environments
- Improves pipeline reliability and flow continuity
Key Benefits
