Friction Reducers
Friction reducers are chemicals that are added to
fluids to reduce the frictional resistance
encountered during their flow through pipelines
or conduits. They are commonly used in the oil
and gas industry to improve the efficiency of fluid
transportation. Substances that reduce friction
between surfaces, improving flow and reducing
energy consumption.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking), pipeline transportation, and other fluid handling operations to reduce turbulence and improve flow efficiency, thereby lowering pumping pressures and energy consumption.
- Applied in drilling fluids, hydraulic fracturing, and industrial processes to enhance lubrication and reduce friction.
