Paraffin Defense Pellets are primarily used to prevent paraffin deposition in crude oil production systems. Paraffin Inhibitor Pellets are not designed to remove existing paraffin deposits but can soften these deposits and often make conventional paraffin cutting operations easier and faster.
Paraffin Defense pellets inhibit paraffin deposition by the crystal modification method. This method keeps paraffin particles from sticking together. Paraffin Defense Pellets are effective on certain ranges of molecular weight paraffins. Testing the pellets for effectiveness can be done by simply trying the sticks in the field or by testing the crude oil in the laboratory. To be effective, the inhibitor must be in solution in the oil before paraffin precipitation starts to occur.
