Removes iron to improve crude quality, prevent fouling, and reduce corrosion – without harsh acids or hazardous chemicals.
PetroX IRON is a next-generation iron control chemistry engineered for oilfield environments plagued by metal contamination. It prevents iron scale formation and removes existing iron and sulfur compounds by sequestering dissolved metals and maintaining them in the water phase. This eliminates the formation of iron sulfide solids that contribute to fouling, emulsion stability, and corrosion.
Applications include production, offshore operations, desalting systems, and refining. It is ideal for facilities struggling with sludge formation and decreased oil quality due to iron content.
Unlike acids and traditional chelators, PetroX IRON operates at neutral pH, is safer for personnel and infrastructure, and has been proven to reduce iron content in crude by up to 85%. It also lowers sulfur by 15%, producing “sweeter” oil. With higher-value output and reduced equipment maintenance, PetroX IRON delivers both operational and financial impact.
