| Perfect symbiosis of time and N-Spec Brenntag Oil & Gas Europe has managed to open an offshore 7.3 km, 6 5/8" crude trunk line with N-SPEC 50 dispersant/solvent. The line, which belongs to Petromar, Romania's offshore petroleum exploration company, had been obstructed for six years and previous efforts to open it had failed. It took almost one and a half years before the N-Spec crew managed to open the line. Peter Verkiel, European Product Manager N-Spec products & services at Brenntag, elaborates on the project. N-Spec products are designed to remove the adhesive characteristic of deposits, such as paraffin, black powder, hydrates, scales etc., allowing them to be disconnected from the inner pipe wall and to be transported through the pipeline with a specially designed pig. N-Spec 50, which is designed to penetrate and remove organic deposits, like paraffin and waxes, has been tested according Harmonised Offshore Chemical Notification Format and approved by Scandinavian and UK authorities for offshore use. The Petromar task was the first practical test of its application in a European offshore project. N-Spec 50 features: - Multi-use dispersant/solvent; - Dissolves and removes organic deposits in oil & gas applications; - Strong dispersing/solvating properties designed to penetrate oil, paraffin and grease deposits; - Biodegradable; - High flash point; - Thanks to its biodegradability and low toxicity the product has received the yellow label for offshore use. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
