Silicone in Petrochemicals

Elkay offers specialized solutions to control foam and enhance efficiency across multiple stages of petrochemical processing. Our advanced defoamers effectively manage foaming issues from upstream oil extraction to refinery operations, helping increase productivity and maintain output capacity. In refineries, where foaming can disrupt processes like vacuum distillation and asphalt production, our solutions prevent fouling, ease handling, and improve overall productivity. Our silicones dispersed in hydrocarbons are especially effective in delayed coking units, reducing deposit buildup in process lines and ensuring smoother operations.

Beyond foam control, Elkay’s demulsifiers aid in the efficient separation of water from crude oil, even at low temperatures, further enhancing processing efficiency. In auxiliary units, such as high-speed sulfur pastillization and powder processing, our products boost equipment performance, minimize product dusting, and reduce maintenance. With a commitment to delivering super performance and excellent economy, Elkay’s petrochemical solutions are designed to meet the rigorous demands of the industry, providing reliable and sustainable support for optimal operation.
