Polyacrylamide

Applications & markets

Match polymer selection to the process: solids separation, sludge handling, papermaking or reservoir mobility control. Explore the application requirements, relevant chemistry and information that supports a technical review.

01

04

Pulp & Paper

Objective
Fibre dispersion, retention and drainage in papermaking are distinct application objectives.
Information to share
Identify the dispersion, retention or drainage objective and describe the wet-end conditions.
Product discussion
Selected Cationic Powder PAM products are relevant to retention and drainage. For dispersion, start with the broader Powder PAM discussion; the specific product requires review.

Oilfield

05

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

Objective
Increase injection-water viscosity to improve the water–oil mobility ratio and support reservoir sweep in polymer flooding.
Information to share
Provide injection-water and formation-water analyses, reservoir temperature, permeability, oil viscosity and target injection-fluid viscosity. Describe the preparation equipment and injection conditions.
Product discussion
AM/AA/AMPS terpolymer dry powders with 5–25 mol% AMPS provide a chemistry option for evaluation in elevated-temperature, saline reservoirs. Selection is matched to field conditions.
AM/AA/AMPS powder chemistry
Selection review
Assess compatibility, viscosity retention and injection suitability under project-relevant conditions. AMPS content alone does not establish a temperature or salinity limit. How selection is reviewed
Discuss Your EOR Application

Three questions for a polymer-flooding review

What water will the polymer encounter?

Compare preparation water, dilution water and formation brine. Include total salinity and calcium/magnesium concentrations rather than a salinity figure alone.

How will viscosity be maintained?

Consider reservoir temperature and exposure time alongside preparation and pumping conditions. Compare viscosity before and after representative aging and shear exposure.

Can the solution be injected as intended?

Review dissolution, filterability and formation characteristics together. Agree the relevant injection evaluation and acceptance criteria before selecting a field product.

06

Drilling Fluids

Objective
Polymer selection for drilling-fluid applications.
Information to share
Describe the fluid system and operating conditions.
Product discussion
Explore Powder PAM as the existing product-form discussion point.
