Product Introduction

polyacrylamide

During oilfield water injection, fracturing, and long-distance transportation processes, customers commonly face problems such as high pipeline resistance, high pump pressure, high energy consumption costs, and low transportation efficiency.

Our anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) drag reducer is specially designed to significantly reduce turbulent resistance by changing the flow state of fluids. Without increasing equipment investment, it achieves higher transportation efficiency + lower energy consumption costs.

This pipeline drag reducer has become a core additive in oilfield transportation systems.

Product Overview

Anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) drag reducer is a high molecular linear polymer.

By forming flexible molecular chain structures in fluids, it effectively suppresses turbulence, thereby reducing flow resistance.

As an efficient fluid drag-reducing polymer, it is widely used in:

Oilfield water injection systems

Fracturing fluid systems

Crude oil / water transportation pipelines

Polyacrylamide friction Reducer packaging001
