The Significance Of Oilfield Solutions

By Cornelia Reyes


Clear oilfield solutions are required especially when there are problems facing the oil and gas industry. Massive machinery and platforms which operate continuously are also needed. Prior to processing, petroleum needs to be transported and stored in huge vessels. The use of cleaning equipments, oil heaters, containers and rigs is usually a challenge but also an essential process.

Petroleum is naturally difficult to clean especially diesel which is much heavier than petrol. What makes the process complex is the fact that water and oil do not mix. In addition, it is hard for a person to rinse the cleaners off the machines and equipments into land or ocean due to environmental issues. Even when tidiness is a virtue, downtime must always be kept to minimal. These are among the challenges that are faced when the equipments are being cleaned.

Even when it is difficult for the general public to come into encounter with oilfields and the offshore rigs, ensuring that these are clean is essential when it comes to maximizing their life. Oil and deposit buildup make the oilfield and tools used unsightly. The residues are able to cause corrosion on the equipments hence hindering the operations and interfering with periodic maintenance and repair.

Fortunately enough, clear cut solutions have been developed to make sure that the residues from any extraction process do not cause any nuisance. There are modern equipment cleaners that have been manufactured and which are non-toxic. The ingredients that are included during their processing produce colloidal suspension which is concentrated. Due to the ability of the solvent to create nano-particles, it has made the cleaning process a success.

Single molecules of oil are attached in colloidal suspensions. Here the bacteria found in the oil attacks and consumes the molecules of oil owing to the increase in surface area of the solution and the small molecule sizes. The non-toxic solvent is able to facilitate and speed up the bio-degradation process.

The combination of the efficient bacteria, natural non-toxic ingredients and colloidal features of the solution makes the process of cleaning faster, effective and also environmental friendly. The waste from the process is biodegradable thus enabling the cleaning it to be done at sea, in the oilfields or in the wash racks. In addition to this, some of the natural oilfield rig cleaners can be utilized on the polished aluminum and painted surfaces without causing any damage.

The use of heavy duty De-greaser is also a clear solution when it comes to cleaning the rigs and other associated oil machinery. In this case, the non-toxic De-greasers that are plant based are used. These usually form nano-particles and thus are eco-friendly option that can effectively tackle the hydrocarbon residue on the oil and gas machines, rigs, vehicles and tanks.

Since oil and grease are notoriously difficult to clean, oilfield solutions that are Eco-friendly have been developed to accelerate the bio-degradation process. For this reason, it is possible for the technicians and engineers to successfully wash their equipments and machines without necessarily using the harmful caustic cleaners. This is also important since it helps to protect the environment from degradation.
