Designed to disperse paraffin wax in crude oil and crude oil sludge so lowering the B.S.%W of crude oil. The paraffin becomes dissolved or dispersed in crude oil and stays that way. Malcera 508 MM also acts as a demulsifier and pour point reducing agent. Recently a tank cleaning company in Houston was able to obtain a final B.S.&W of 0.0% for the recovered oil. They also found that the product leads to extremely clean solids. The tank cleaner stated that the solids look like pure table salt. Samples from a 25,000 Bbls slop oil tank were taken at 4 feet, 8 feet and 14 feet. The 3 samples were put in a 4000 ml beaker and 2000 ml of water was added and the contents stirred. This mixture of slop oil and water was heated whilst stirring to 158°F (70°C). 1.84 ml of Malcera 508-MM was then added and the mixture was allowed to stir for one hour at 158°F (70°C). After 30 minutes of stirring 500 ml of diesel was added and the stirring and heating continued for a further 30 minutes. At the end of the hour the heat and stirring were stopped. The beaker with the mixture of slop oil, water, diesel and chemicals was left to reach ambient temperature. After 1 hour the mixture looked like this and after 2 days looked like this The starting slop oil had an initial B.S.& W. of 28%. The final recovered oil plus diesel had a B.S.& W. of <0.0%. |
