Cleaning Agent

Cleaning Agents for Oilfield Equipment Protection

Cleaning agents are specialized chemical formulations designed to remove stubborn deposits, scales, and contaminants from oilfield equipment, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. UNPChemicals' EUMET series combines nonionic surfactants for effective organic deposit removal and cationic surfactants for enhanced surface conditioning, providing comprehensive cleaning solutions that protect critical assets while maintaining material compatibility. These agents are widely used in pipeline maintenance, tank cleaning, and equipment preparation to prevent corrosion and operational inefficiencies.

Oilfield Cleaning Agents for Equipment Maintenance

Cleaning agents are essential chemical solutions used to maintain oilfield equipment by dissolving and removing harmful deposits like paraffin, asphaltenes, and mineral scales that impair operational efficiency. UNPChemicals' EUMET series utilizes a balanced blend of nonionic and cationic surfactants to deliver superior cleaning performance—nonionic components effectively break down organic residues while cationic agents condition metal surfaces to prevent re-deposition and corrosion, ensuring thorough cleaning of pipelines, tanks, and downhole tools without damaging sensitive materials.

What are Cleaning agents?
Cleaning agents are specialized chemical formulations designed to dissolve, disperse, or lift contaminants from oilfield equipment, including hydrocarbons, scales, and drilling residues, to restore operational efficiency and prevent damage caused by deposit buildup.

What are the main types of Cleaning agents?
Key types include solvent-based cleaners for organic deposits, acid-based systems for mineral scales, surfactant blends (like EUMET’s nonionic/cationic combinations) for versatile cleaning, and biodegradable solutions for environmentally sensitive areas, each tailored to specific deposit challenges and material compatibility requirements.

Where are Cleaning agents commonly applied?
These agents are used in pipeline pigging operations, storage tank cleaning, wellbore preparation for stimulation, and routine maintenance of separators and heat exchangers, particularly where deposit accumulation risks flow restriction, corrosion, or equipment failure.

How do you select the right Cleaning agent?
Selection depends on deposit composition (organic, inorganic, or mixed), equipment material (carbon steel, alloys, or elastomers), temperature conditions, and environmental regulations, prioritizing agents that balance aggressive cleaning with material safety and ease of disposal.

Why choose surfactant-based Cleaning agents like EUMET?
Surfactant-based cleaners like EUMET offer adaptable performance across diverse deposit types, combining the solubilizing power of nonionic surfactants with the anti-redeposition and anti-corrosion benefits of cationic agents, outperforming single-mechanism cleaners while reducing the need for hazardous solvents or acids.

What makes EUMET suitable for sensitive equipment?
EUMET’s optimized surfactant blend ensures effective deposit removal without attacking metal surfaces or elastomers, featuring low-foaming properties for pump systems and controlled reactivity to protect sensitive components like valves and seals during cleaning cycles.
