Dr. Rahul Kulkarni, presented a technical paper on “silicone additives in oil filed applications” at Indian Oil & Gas Chemistry, Chemicals and Additives conference (IOGCA) Ahmadabad on 16-17 September 2019. The technical programme covered mainly crude oil characterization, demulsification, drilling fluid chemicals & additives, high temperature high pressure completion fluids, water chemistry, polymers for EOR and other surfactants used in oil & gas sector. Chemicals play a significant role in drilling, well completion, crude oil demulsification, effluent treatment, defoaming etc.

The unique chemical properties of silicones (surfactants, fluids, emulsions) such as low surface tension (20 dynes/cm), high temperature stability, inert and wide pH stability, bio compatibility and environmental friendly could be used in various applications where performance required and this haven’t achieved with conventional chemistry. Silicones are blanketed with -CH3 groups and with the flexibility of Si-O bond have exceptional mobility, low surface energy and surface active behaviour. It has high affinity to minerals, low affinity to asphaltenes, and almost no affinity to aliphatic. For the petrochemical industry, from drilling to refining to shipping – foaming leads to losses in efficiency, mechanical issues and fouling. Silicone foam control solutions allow foam control in multiple places in petrochemical units to increase productivity and save money.

Silicone demulsifiers are a relatively new type of chemical demulsifier which are driving efficiency. There have been several studies and tests done which show that silicone demulsifiers are efficient reagents both in pure form and as additives to organic systems. Silicone demulsifiers are not intended to replace organic demulsifiers. Instead, they should be blended together with organic demulsifiers. Typically, such a blend contains between 2 and 5% of a silicone demulsifier. These new organic/silicone formulations have synergies in demulsification of various crude oils.

Elkay actively works with its customers to help you with your silicone demulsifier, low temperature demulsifier and silicone defoamer needs. 

This two-day event created opportunities for discussing and sharing experiences in all aspects of chemistry and chemicals for industry professionals involved in solutions to oil filed problems through chemicals.

Clean water is a very much essential element for any manufacturing unit. In case of un-availability, it can hamper production. To overcome on this issue and become self-dependent Elkay Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. put forward steps under the green building norms for rain water harvesting. By using a very cost effective method, we were able to collect water at the rate of 10 lit/min in moderate rain.
Tested TDS of collected water comes below 50 which is good quality of water & can be stored separately. This water is also used for other activities like sanitary, cleaning & planting.

Elkay participated in “Chemspec 2019, India” one of the well-known chemical expo in world on 16-17 April 2019. We thanks to all the visitors who had shown their interest in performance silicone products. Visitors from different parts of world visited us and actively participated in knowledge sharing process.

At “Chemspec 2019, India”, Elkay presented it’s entire range of silicone products and solutions with a wide range of applications in Construction, Petrochemicals, Textiles, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care, Medicament, Agriculture, Rubber & Tyre, Chemical Process and other various customised applications. Customers shown interest for silicone fluids, emulsions, defoamers, surfactants and other performance silicone products.

More than 450 visitors including our esteemed customers, fortune 500 customers and vendors visited our stall.

ELKAY received the SKOCH Achievers Award, 2019- under GOLD category on 23 March 2019,New  Delhi. Elkay was awarded for it’s innovative and exceptional work in the field of chemicals.

Mr. Dhananjay Lokapur and  Dr. Bilson Shukla accepted this award on behalf of all the Elkay employees  and customers.

We are always looking to enhance lives using our highly flexible silicone chemistry. We at Elkay, are excited to talk about our silicone products in a wide range of applications in Agriculture, Construction, Petrochemicals, Textiles, Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care, Medicament, Rubber & Tire, Chemical Process and various customised applications. It is always a pleasure to interact with our current and future customers.

Elkay Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. (ELKAY) organized one day blood donation camp on 17^th Nov. 2018 together with Rotary Club, Kothrud, Pune along with Sahyadri Specialty Hospital, Blood Bank, Pune.

Event was inaugurated by Rtn. Mrs. Nutan Bankar (President RCPK) in presence of Rtn. PP Dr. Ravindra Kulkarni (Managing Director) & Mrs. Alka Kulkarni (HR Director) of ELKAY. More than 20 employees donated blood to save the lives of more than 60 needy. Rtn. Mrs. Nutan Bankar, appreciated a great social initiative taken by ELKAY and helping society to do the best.

Dr. Bilson Shukla, presented a technical paper on silicone additives for crude oil processing in Indian Oil Field Chemistry Conference (IOFC) 2018 at Ahmedabad on 27-28 September 2018. The technical programme covered mainly crude oil characterization, demulsification, drilling fluid chemicals & additives, high temperature high pressure completion fluids, water chemistry, polymers for EOR and other surfactants used in oil & gas sector. Chemistry and chemicals are integral part of upstream oil & gas industry. They play a significant role in drilling, well completion, crude oil demulsification, effluent treatment, defoaming etc.
