DESCRIPTION:

Gas Drag Reducing Agent is a chemical additive that reduces resistance to gas flow and increases gas supply by up to 30%.
Gas Drag Reducing Agent performs two main functions:
1) Reduces the roughness of the inner surface of the pipeline;
2) Reduces the turbulence of natural gas in contact with the pipeline wall by streamlining the molecular motion of the gas. 

​

DRA-039G is a mixture which mainly consists of a polymer and is supplemented with octanol, dispersant and surfactant. The additive is good at reducing resistance and increasing flow capacity in various gas pipelines, has good compatibility with other chemical additives used by final users.

The applied amount of DRA-039G is very small, at the ppm level. During use, the additive is first adsorbed on the pipe wall and then gradually carried away by the gas flow. The applied amount is so small that it does not have a harmful effect on the pipeline and the gas itself.

​

Composition: 35-45% polymer, 50-60% octanol, 3% dispersant, 2% surfactant
Shelf life: 12 months.​

EFFICIENCY:

The work principle of the DRA-039G Series is that the additive forms a smooth and elastic film on the inner wall of the gas pipeline, this allows to reduce the friction resistance of gas against the pipe wall. As a result, the throughput capacity of the gas pipeline is increased.​

​

The final user, according to the actual needs and condition of the pipeline, can control and set the pressure, thus influencing the flow capacity of the pipeline. Generally, because of the additive mechanism, it is possible to increase the pipeline capacity while maintaining the operating pressure, or it is possible to reduce the operating pressure of the pipeline while the pipeline capacity remains unchanged. Depending on the condition of the pipes, the effect of resistance reduction will be different.

The average resistance reduction rate in mass production is 15% ~ 20%¸ and the increase in gas pumping is 20-25%. If this product is used correctly over a long period of time continuously, there is a tendency of positive accumulation effect on the increase of the drag reduction factor.
