From preventing leaks, spills and oil consistency issues to emulsifying oils for the efficient cleaning of pipework and effective soil remediation, Lakeland Laboratories in Manchester manufactures bespoke surfactants with anti-corrosive and lubricity applications that make for outstanding performance across the oil field sector.
Lubricant & Anti-corrosion Phosphate Esters & Amphoterics for Oil Field Operators
With constant demands on production, the oil field sector relies on stable surfactants to deliver continued high performance. Manchester-based Lakeland Laboratories continues to invest in the development of our amphoteric and phosphate ester formulas, staying ahead of ever-adapting industry need and always striving to exceed in performance.
Highly versatile phosphate esters for oil field infrastructure:
Shielding pipework and structural elements of oil rigs against damage from seawater and other harmful elements, phosphate esters are utilised broadly by Lakeland’s oil field sector clients. With applications including emulsification, anti-corrosion, lubrication, cleaning and hydrotroping, Lakeland’s phosphate esters create a versatile product range suitable for use in deep water.
Environmentally friendly amphoterics for oil field sector clients:
Our amphoteric range makes for efficient internal cleaning, maintaining pipework in good condition and ensuring blockages are kept to a minimum. With amphoterics’ cleaning properties preventing blockages and maintaining stable pressure to support continual delivery of raw materials through pipework and distribution infrastructure, Lakeland’s ACP 70 Amphoterics emulsify oil allowing for the easy removal of product build-up and contaminants.
Our Work: Cost-saving chemicals for UK-based oil recycling client
Lakeland’s energy sector client recycles oils at its UK-based refinery, generally gaining its work through tenders with a range of organisations.
Over 15 years, our team has established strong relationships with the client team and benefits from an excellent understanding of its processes and business model, enabling us to respond quickly to demand which arises principally when a new contract is achieved.
Our work for this client mostly comprises bespoke terpine blends. Products are used to clean down oil tankers, storage vessels and oil reactors, splitting oil and water to clean the interior of each. Oil is collected and recycled, whilst water is safely removed and discharged into the water system to complete an environmentally-aware process which makes the most of the oil commodity.
Lakeland Laboratories continually delivers excellent levels of service which ensure our client business is able to meet the requirements of the contracts it wins. Strong relationships are supported by accessible technical and production expertise, manufacturing blends which work effectively to facilitate our client’s environmentally-sound recycling and waste disposal processes.
Quality-monitored surfactants for oil field & energy production
Supporting the supply of essential energy resources worldwide, Lakeland Laboratories is a key chemicals partner to many oil field sector clients, delivering protective surfactants since 1963 to offshore and onshore oil producers, oil field sector operators and component manufacturers.
