Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/03/2018 --Paraffin Inhibitors Market: Overview

Paraffin inhibitors commonly called pour-point depressant is used to reduce wax deposition or is used to reduce viscosity or complete gelling of high-wax-content petroleum fluids. In other words, paraffin inhibitor is used for viscosity reduction or gel prevention. Paraffin inhibitor/pour-point depressant products are high-molecular-weight polymers that alter the wax crystallization process, which in turn changes the characteristics of wax deposits and wax gel networks. Paraffin inhibitors interact with paraffin in the crude to modify wax crystal formation, shape, size, and adhesion characteristics. Paraffin Inhibitors are usually dissolved in the carrier fluid for easy delivery (with a simple injection pump) to the petroleum stream that is to be treated. The formulation of paraffin inhibitors with the carrier fluid must be stable and suitable for use in its particular application environment. The paraffin inhibitors are based on the polyalkyl methacrylate (PAMA) chemistry. Paraffin inhibitors vary the length of the PAMA molecule's alkyl side chains to modify wax crystal growth in crude oil. By modifying the wax crystals, paraffin wax prevents build-up of a wax network, ensuring efficient oil flow.

Paraffin Inhibitors Market: Key Segments

On the basis of the application, paraffin inhibitors market are segmented on the basis of their use in the heated injection, surface injection, deep-water dry-tree applications, deep-water umbilical applications, and applications in subfreezing environments (from moderate freezing to extreme cold arctic conditions). Thus, the paraffin inhibitors market find its use in the conditions ranging from stringent extreme cold arctic locations to tropical locations. Paraffin inhibitors are also used in deep-water umbilical applications, wherein the formulation not only must be stable at the cold ambient seafloor temperatures (?4 °C), but also handle the combined effect of elevated pressure present in the umbilical line. In contrast, paraffin inhibitors are also applied in applications wherein thermal conditions are controlled with heated storage and injection.

Paraffin Inhibitors Market: Drivers & Restraints

The main driver of the paraffin inhibitors is the growing oil and gas industry. In oil and gas industry, the flow of the oil in the pipelines is of the major concern. Challenges in both production and transportation of crude oil include wax deposition, flow problems, and gelling, which are most evident in subsea and deep water operations. Paraffin inhibitors have the advanced technology to prevent wax flow assurance problems.
