Drag Reducing Agents Market Key Trends and Opportunity Analysis 2018-2026
Drag Reducing Agents Market: Introduction Drag reducing agents are high molecular weight substances that are added to a pipeline in order to reduce turbulence and thereby increase the capacity and efficiency of flow through the pipeline. Turbulence in pipelines is caused by friction or interaction between the flowing fluid and the pipe wall. Drag reducing agents reduce the interaction and contact between the wall and the fluid. They are injected in flow streams in small quantities. Drag reducing agents are commonly used in oil fields. They help decrease the pressure drop along the pipeline. This helps lower the pumping cost and energy consumption. Drag reducing agents are prone to degradation due to their high molecular weights. Drag Reducing Agents Market: Overview Based on type, the drag reducing agents market can be divided into polymers, suspensions, surfactants, and biomaterials. Polymers are the key type of materials that are used as drag reducing agents...
