Oil & Gas Chemical Capabilities
Polymer Reactions for Oilfield Applications
Valentine Chemicals supports oil & gas cementing, drilling, and completion chemistries that require consistent performance at scale. Since adding polymer reaction capabilities, we have reacted nearly 100 million pounds of polyacrylamides and related polymers for oilfield applications.
Our facility contains numerous closed-vessel systems with vacuum distillation and staged reflux control. On-site QA/QC monitoring adjacent to the reactors enables close process oversight and repeatable, consistent results.
Liquid-to-Powder Conversion (Drum & Spray Drying)
Liquid-to-Powder Conversion (Drum & Spray Drying)
We are the largest contract drum drying operation in the U.S., a process commonly used for viscous or shear-sensitive oilfield chemistries, such as…
drilling fluid additives (PAC, CMC, HPG)
EOR surfactants (AOS pastes, IOS)
corrosion inhibitors
scale inhibitors (ATMP, HEDP, DTPMP salts)
precursors
asphalt additives
…and more.
Spray drying, on the other hand, is commonly selected for consistent particle size and flow characteristics. Valentine operates both pilot and full-scale spray drying systems, allowing projects to move from development through commercial production. Compounds commonly spray dried include…
demulsifier and defoamer intermediates
biocides
flocculants
refinery additives.
Whether you need a free-flowing powder or flakes, our drying processes deliver consistent performance in demanding environments and boast lengthy shelf lives.
Custom Blending, Packaging, and Logistics
Valentine’s custom blending work includes liquid-liquid and liquid-powder blending in consistent batches and to exact particle sizes, moisture content, surface properties, and other specs.
We add more value by offering packaging, logistics, and warehousing support on-site, with available container options including bags, drums, pails, and supersacks, plus specialty packaging and private labeling.
Our warehouse features temperature-controlled storage and stainless steel tank storage for bulk liquids.
