Oil & Gas
NanoChem's biodegradable amino-acid polymer has long been used to reduce mineral scale in oil & gas operations, ensuring optimal flow and production by inhibiting scale formation in sensitive environments
NanoChem Solutions specializes in manufacturing proprietary polyaspartates tailored for the oil and gas sector. Offering a range of molecular weights and formulations, including both liquid and dry options, NCS has been supplying biodegradable and non-bioaccumulating products to companies in this industry for over two decades. Our polyaspartates are anionic, biodegradable amino-acid polymers derived from L-aspartic acid, produced at an industrial scale through fermentation. Their molecular weight varies based on the application, ensuring high water solubility while effectively serving as biodegradable inhibitors for carbonate and sulfate scale, as well as dispersants. Furthermore, they enhance the performance of corrosion inhibitors.
The utilization of polyaspartates in the oil industry offers significant advantages, such as enhanced scale inhibition, improved corrosion protection, and increased efficiency in oil production. These polymers effectively prevent scale formation in pipelines and equipment, thus reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Moreover, they contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing the reliance on harsh chemicals and minimizing the environmental impact associated with oil extraction processes.

Research
Polyaspartates for the Oil & Gas Market
Two NCS polyaspartate products were tested at 4 ppm in a dynamic scale tube-blocking test to assess their effectiveness in reducing carbonate and sulfate scale formation. Additionally, two NCS products were evaluated at 25 ppm in an electrochemical corrosion test to demonstrate their corrosion inhibition capabilities.
