The Importance 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.

Naturally, crude oil is normally difficult to clean. In addition, the fact that water and oil cannot mix, makes it a much complicated problem. Not only is this hard but one cannot just rinse the residue and the caustic cleaners off the rigs into sea or soil due to environmental concerns. Even when cleanliness is a virtue, it is essential to keep downtime to minimal. These are some of the challenges involved in cleaning of these oil equipments.

Even though it is normally difficult for the people to encounter oilfields or come across the equipments that are used in extracting oil and gas, it is important for the organizations concerned to make sure that the appliances are cleaned at all times. The buildup of oil residues and other wastes from the process make the oilfield to appear unsightly. Such products hinder proper functioning of the equipments.

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.

Individual molecules of the petroleum are held in colloidal suspensions. At this point, the bacteria which are found in the soil will then attack and consume the molecules, thanks to the increased surface area and their small size. Non-toxic cleaners are suitable for this case since they accelerate the bio-degradation process.

Combination of efficient bacteria, natural non-toxic elements and the colloidal solution characteristics is important since it helps to make the process of cleaning faster, convenient and also Eco-friendly. The waste derived from this process is normally biodegradable. As a result, it possible for the cleaning process to be conducted at the wash racks, on the oilfield and in the ocean. Apart from that, natural oil rig cleaners may be used on a polished aluminum surface without causing 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.

While grease and oils are notoriously hard to clean, Eco-friendly oilfield solutions have come up to harness and accelerate the processes of bio-degradation. As a result, it has become possible for engineers and technicians to efficiently and quickly wash their machines and other associated equipment without having to use harmful caustic cleaners, thus protecting the environment from degrading.
