DRA benefits flow to the bottom line

ProFlo flow improvers have reduced drag up to 80% and have increased flow up to 100% and the results were immediate. Performance depends largely on the properties of the fluid being transported and the condition of the pipeline.

Drag Reducers can bring substantial improvement to your bottom-line profit by maximizing the flow potential and throughput capacity of your pipelines, saving energy, and giving your operations greater flexibility.

How much DRA is needed?

Highly efficient ProFlo flow improvers are used in very small concentrations (parts per million). The dosage that will optimize flow in a pipeline is dependent on a number of factors, including petroleum composition and viscosity, pipeline diameter and condition, fluid velocity, and temperature. The typical cost to use our Drag Reducer is pennies per barrel per pipeline segment.

Propipe specialists will work with you to determine the best solution based upon your particular situation and objectives. Propipe ensures optimization of each application by:

A field trial is required to determine the precise Drag Reducer dosage to optimize a specific flow-improvement.

Description

Propipe ProFlo-X101 is a slurry composed of long chain poly alpha olefin in vegetable oil.

PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

ProFlo-X101 may be injected into pipelines by means of positive displacement pumps.

ProFlo-X101 can be used in either crude or finished products pipelines. The use rate may vary and should always be used in accordance with the feed rate recommended by Propipe.

Description

ProFlo-X410 is a slurry composed of long chain poly-alpha-olefin in a liquid carrier (water/glycol), designed for cold weather applications.

PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

ProFlo-X410 is utilized in crude oil pipelines to decrease operating pressure and increase pipeline flow rate.  ProFlo-X410 is injected via industry standard chemical injection systems recommended and designed by Propipe. Consultation with a Propipe representative is recommended to ensure the proper Propipe solution.

SHIPPING & HANDLING

ProFlo-X410 is a non-hazardous material and can be shipped accordingly. Product should be kept in covered areas, without exposure to direct sunlight. ProFlo-X410 should be homogeneously mixed before injection.

Description

ProFlo-X220  is a synthetic high molecular weight polyelectrolyte based on polyacrylamide and supplied in easy-to-handle liquid emulsion form. It is a highly efficient friction reducer when used in water-based fracturing fluids and is capable of reducing pressure losses due to friction by amounts in excess of 70%.

PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

ProFlo-X220 has been specially optimized for use in hydraulic fracturing operations which utilize     either light or heavy brines containing predominantly monovalent cationic species in addition to high levels of chlorides, as the frac fluids.

ProFlo-X220 has been designed to hydrate rapidly and may be added as supplied ‘on-the-fly’ by direct addition to the fracturing fluid. When the products are added to a region of high shear, the hydration of the polymer occurs almost instantaneously, providing optimal performance.

TYPICAL DOSAGE

0.25 to 2.0 gallons per 1000 gallons of frac fluid.

COMPATIBILITY

ProFlo-X220 friction reducer is compatible with all anionic and nonionic additives, such as surfactants or scale inhibitors, that may be present in the frac fluid.

SHIPPING & HANDLING

ProFlo-X220 is a non-hazardous material and can be shipped accordingly. Product should be kept in covered areas, without exposure to direct sunlight.

Injection Skids

Injection metering pump systems can be configured for any DRA ProFlo pipeline application.

· Onshore or offshore
· At pressures to 2,500 psi
· At volumes to 1,500 gallons per day
· Fully compliant with international standards
· Explosion proof, Division 1 or 2
· For 190/380 VAC – 50 Hz or 240/480 VAC – 60 Hz

Dosage is metered by an onboard programmable logic controller that can be set and adjusted locally or remotely. The controller also operates the spare pump that is included with each system for 100% backup capacity.

Special equipment designs are no problem. All units are pre-wired and thoroughly tested to ensure faultless startup and operation.

Propipe customizes skids to the size and level of automation that suit your requirements.

A totally redundant PLC-operated injection system can be controlled remotely or locally.
