Paraffin Wax Dispersant RXSOL
RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant is a solvent based products which is popular due to high wax solvency power
RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx is a solvent based blend of anionic and non-ionic surfactants designed to disperse sludge deposits found within crude oil storage vessels, pipelines and well tubulars. RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx when mixed and circulated with hydrocarbon sludge, will aid in converting the sludge back into a marketable crude oil. Typical sludge deposits are composed of a mixture of waxes, asphaltenes, water, light hydrocarbons and solids. RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx acts to disrupt paraffin micelles that constitute the major source of viscosity for most typical hydrocarbon sludges
Specifically designed to prevent wax and paraffin deposition, RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx keeps them dispersed preventing downstream plugging of flowlines and formations. This unique and innovative surfactant blend also enhances penetration of existing deposits aiding in their removal.
RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx is typically applied at concentrations of 250 –1000 ppm. It can be added directly to the sludge, but it is more typically used in combination with a diluent such as a light naphtha, crude oil or aromaticsolvent. The resulting mixture is circulated for several hours until all of the sludge has been dispersed. The circulation is then stopped and the solids and water allowed to settle. The clean crude can then be pumped out of the vessel.
RXSOL Paraffin Wax Dispersant Rx can be combined with Rxsol PPD depending on composition of the deposit to achieve maximum effectiveness.
