CURE Paraffin Dissolvers

Dissolve paraffins

Schlumberger uses mechanical, thermal, and chemical techniques to treat deposited waxes.

Chemical dissolution treatment necessitates application of solvents that will effectively and efficiently remove paraffin wax deposits, dissolving the paraffin regardless of structure, size, or melting point. This process requires much less energy compared with melting the wax crystals. Solvent effectiveness improves with increased temperature and agitation.

Available solvents include chemistry based on condensate light gas oil, xylene, toluene, terpenes, and carbon disulfide.
