Advantages of the product

Superior Dewatering Efficiency

Our oilfield sludge treatment polymer is a high-molecular-weight polyacrylamide copolymer designed to maximize water release from sludge matrices. By bridging suspended particles and neutralizing surface charges, this polymer forms dense, rapidly settling flocs that improve centrifuge and belt press throughput by up to 40%. It maintains performance across a wide pH range (4-12) and high salinity conditions. This leads to drier filter cakes (≥30% solids), reducing disposal weight and operational costs significantly.

Enhanced Oil Recovery from Sludge

A key advantage of our polymer is its ability to release trapped hydrocarbons from sludge. The product features a unique hydrophobic-modified structure that displaces oil films from solid surfaces, allowing efficient oil-water-solid separation. In a recent case with a Gulf Coast refiner, our polymer enabled recovery of up to 15% additional oil from tank bottom sludge. This turns waste into an asset, reducing toxicity while generating revenue through high-efficiency hydrocarbon separation and recovery.

Environmental Compliance and Sustainability

Regulatory pressure on oilfield waste management is intensifying globally. Our oilfield sludge treatment polymer is formulated from non-toxic, readily biodegradable raw materials, ensuring treated solids meet landfill or land-farming standards. Unlike inorganic coagulants, our organic polymer reduces sludge volume by up to 30%, minimizing disposal footprint. The product also reduces chemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids, enabling safe water reuse or compliant discharge worldwide.

The management of oilfield sludge is a pressing technical and economical issue for the petroleum industry. This complex waste originates from drilling operations, production facilities, and storage tanks, comprising emulsions that are notoriously difficult to treat. Jiangsu Feymer Technology leverages its expertise in water-soluble polymers to introduce a new generation of oilfield sludge treatment polymers that address these deficiencies. Our polymers operate on a physical-chemical basis, bridging suspended particles into a matrix that releases encapsulated water and oil. The polymer’s high molecular weight provides efficient flocculation even at low concentrations, and its charge density is tailored to sludge characteristics, ensuring rapid neutralization and aggregation. Real-world deployments show that our polymers reduce chemical cost by up to 20% compared to conventional acrylamide-based products.

Frequently Questions

What is the optimal dosage of Feymer oilfield sludge treatment polymer?

Optimal dosage varies based on sludge composition and dewatering equipment, typically ranging from 50-200 ppm of polymer active matter per volume of sludge. We recommend a jar test to determine the exact dose. Our field application usually starts with a preliminary dose of 100 ppm and adjusts based on visual floc formation and filtrate clarity. Overdosing can impair dewatering and increase costs; thus, we provide on-site support to calibrate dosing pumps accurately.
Yes, our polymer family includes salt-tolerant variants. Conventional polyacrylamides lose efficacy due to charge shielding in high-salinity water above 30,000 ppm TDS. Feymer has developed a hydrophobically associative polymer with increased chain extension and viscosity retention under such conditions. This variant has been validated with synthetic brine of 50,000 ppm NaCl and 5,000 ppm CaCl2, showing stable flocculation for offshore applications up to 70°C.

Cutting-Edge Polymerization Technology

Feymer leverages advanced polymerization processes to create oilfield sludge treatment polymers with precise molecular weight, charge distribution, and solubility. Our proprietary inverse-emulsion and post-hydrolysis techniques yield products with high active content up to 35%, reducing shipping costs. The production facilities in Jiangsu and Anhui are equipped with fully automated reactors and continuous quality checkpoints, ensuring batch consistency. We also employ gel-cutter and dry-powder technology for solid grades, leading to faster flocculation times and lower carryover of suspended solids in the filtrate.
Customized Formulations for Diverse Sludge Types

Customized Formulations for Diverse Sludge Types

Oilfield sludge varies significantly in terms of oil origin, weathering, and contamination. Feymer’s specialty lies in its ability to tailor polymer formulations through an extensive testing laboratory that simulates field conditions. Using rheological measurements, zeta potential studies, and jar tests, we determine whether a non-ionic, anionic, cationic, or amphoteric polymer is needed. For heavy, emulsified sludge, we introduce surfactants to break the emulsion. We have developed a library of over 20 grades specifically for oilfield applications, each with detailed performance data.
