Product Description
An ICC-asphaltene inhibitor is a chemical used in the oil and gas industry to remove asphaltenes from crude oil. As-phaltenes are the impurities found in crude oil that if not removed can choke refining equipment. Heavy crude oil con-tains solid ashpaltene deposits during the production stage.
Generally, asphaltenes are a class of insoluble compounds that develop at high temperatures greater than 530 °C (986 °F). Some other compounds that asphaltene inhibitors address include heavy oils, resins and high molecular weight waxes.
ICC-Asphahib is an oil soluble, water dispersible mixture of surface active ingredients, co-solvent, dispersant and acti-vated aromatic solvents, especially designed to disperse and prevent difficult asphaltene deposits.
ICC-Asphahib is safe when used according to directions. This product is a stable material and may be stored for 1 year. Do not take internally. Keep away from eyes, skin and clothing. Normal precautions in handling organic chemi¬cals should be observed
ICC-Asphahib has shelf life of at least one year from the data of manufacture when stored in the original sealed con-tainers in a cool and dry place
ICC-Asphahib is packaged in 220 Li (Net) steel drums. Customized packaging is also available on request. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames. Keep containers closed
• Easy disperse and removes asphaltene deposits
• Prevention of asphaltene molecules being deposited inside production tubing
• Pipelines and production tubing stay clean
• More effective than old methods
The aromatic molecules in ICC-Asphahib attach to the asphaltene molecules and these results in the particles stay¬ing dispersed in a stable colloidal solution. The surface active ingredients increase the surface tension of the crude oil above the level where the asphaltene precipitations normally precipitate
ICC-Asphahib will also dissolve present deposits and can be applied via continuous injection or regular batch treatment. ICC-Asphahib can be pumped straight from the tote or mixed with hydrocarbons. Circulating the fluid and allowing soak-ing time will increase the dissolving and removal of existing deposits. Using the product will allow the optimization of the volume and treatment interval
• helps to remove the insoluble solid compounds from the crude oil
• helps to reduce asphaltene molecules from inside of different equipment
