Paratene^® S620 Paraffin Dispersant

Paratene S620 is a solvent based blend of anionic and non-ionic surfactants designed to disperse sludge deposits found within crude oil storage vessels, pipelines and well tubulars.

Paratene S620, when mixed and circulated with hydrocarbon sludge, will aid in converting the sludge back into a marketable crude oil.

Typical sludge deposits are composed of a mixture of waxes, asphaltenes, water, light hydrocarbons and solids. Paratene S620 acts to disrupt paraffin micelles that constitute the major source of viscosity for most typical hydrocarbon sludge.

Paratene S620 is produced in a highly concentrated form and is typically applied at a rate in the order of 500 ppm based on the sludge volume.
