Chemical Composition:

• Type : High molecular weight polymeric powder

• Form : Fine powder

• Solubility : Soluble in hydrocarbons and non-polar solvents

Mechanism of Action :

The DRAP 1100 works by interacting with the turbulent flow inside pipelines. As the fluid moves through the pipeline, turbulent eddies create drag, increasing energy consumption and reducing flow efficiency. When DRAP 1100 is introduced, its long-chain polymer structure aligns in the flow direction, reducing the intensity of the turbulent eddies. This leads to smoother fluid movement, decreased drag, and a significant reduction in pressure drop.

Key Benefits :

• Enhanced Flow Efficiency :
  DRAP 1100 optimises the flow of fluids in pipelines by minimising frictional drag. This results in higher throughput and more efficient fluid transport.

• Cost-Effective :
  By reducing frictional losses, DRAP 1100 decreases the need for additional pumping power, significantly saving energy costs and operational expenses.

• Reduced Water Demand :
  POLYFLOW 6630 enables better slurry fluidity with reduced water content, which maintains the strength and stability of the set cement.

• Increased Pipeline Capacity :
  With reduced drag, pipelines can handle more significant volumes of fluids without increasing pressure, maximising the pipeline’s transport capacity.

• Versatile Application :
  Suitable for use in crude oil, refined products, and multiphase pipelines carrying a mix of oil, gas, and water.

• Long-Term Stability :
  The high molecular weight polymer in DRAP 1100 ensures long-lasting performance in varying pipeline conditions, providing consistent drag reduction over extended periods.

Applications

• Oil and Gas Pipelines : DRAP 1100 is widely used in the oil and gas industry to enhance the flow of crude oil, refined petroleum products, and natural gas in pipelines. It improves pipeline efficiency, reducing pressure drop and lowering the energy required for transport.

• Water Pipelines : In water transmission systems, DRAP 1100 reduces the energy required for water movement, making it ideal for irrigation systems, firefighting networks, and industrial water transport.

• Hydraulic Fracturing Operations : DRAP 1100 is also applied in hydraulic fracturing fluids to reduce friction, enabling water transport or other fracturing fluids at higher rates without increasing pressure.
