Removable Drag Reduction for NGL Pipelines

Fluid Efficiency’s rDRA™ technology is designed to bring drag reduction to natural gas liquids pipelines, where conventional drag reducers have been limited by downstream contamination and fractionator fouling risk. Our technology combines in-line drag reduction with a proprietary downstream removal system, helping operators increase throughput through existing infrastructure while protecting sensitive processing equipment.

The Advent of Removable Drag Reduction

Fluid Efficiency’s rDRA™ technology is designed to bring drag reduction to natural gas liquids pipelines, where conventional flow improvers have been limited by downstream contamination and fractionator fouling risk.
By combining in-line drag reduction with downstream removal, Fluid Efficiency gives operators a practical path to increasing throughput through existing infrastructure while protecting sensitive processing equipment.

How it Works

Fluid Efficiency’s rDRA™ technology is designed to reduce frictional pressure losses in NGL pipelines and then support downstream polymer removal before sensitive processing equipment.

Engineered Drag Reduction

The removable polymer is designed to improve flow efficiency by reducing frictional pressure losses during NGL pipeline transport.

Downstream Removal

After transport, the polymer is engineered to interact with Fluid Efficiency’s proprietary removal system before the product reaches sensitive downstream equipment.

Infrastructure Efficiency

By helping operators move more product through existing assets, the technology can support greater throughput, improved flexibility, and lower energy intensity per barrel moved.
