MagnaFlo® technologies
An Focused Industry Problem
The Problems
Transportation of paraffin laden crude through pipelines can cause numerous problems that may impose safety, economical, and technical impacts on the pipeline operation. The severity of paraffin crude-related problems is highly affected by the complexity of its rheological properties which in turn depends on the operating conditions. Problems related to crystallization and deposition of paraffin waxes during production and transportation of crude oil cause losses of billions of dollars yearly to the petroleum industry
An Optimized & Industry-ready Solution
The Solution
MagnaFlo® is a femto-structured material that falls under the safeguards provided by U.S. Trade Secret Law and provides bondable materials that will stabilize and resist paraffin formation in crude oil. It has been lab and field tested to mitigate paraffin molecules present in crude oil providing a superior method to neutralize the damaging effects paraffin has on oil transport issues.
With the completion of successful multi year field pilot projects and implementation of license agreements with major industry service companies, MagnaFlo® is now set to commercialize its pipeline paraffin mitigation products within the oil and gas industry markets.

INTRODUCTION
MagnaFlo® Technologies are founded in understanding the characteristics, intricacies, and unique properties of silicon-based chemistry. Silicon is one of the most common elements on earth and is most commonly found as silica in the form of sand or quartz.
Silicon compounds can be organic and inorganic depending on the type of elemental bond. Silicon bonded with oxygen or metals will form silicates, inorganic compounds, while silicon bonded with hydrogen or a hydrogen group will form siloxane, organic compounds.
The intrigue begins by trying to comprehend how silicon and its derivatives can have so many redeeming qualities as to make it one of the most unique and useful materials known. Silicon will bond with a variety of other elements to form an almost endless variety of compounds with equally wide variation of properties. This study of silicon compounds forms the basis for “Silica Science” and is the one of the many focuses of the product development.
CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY
MagnaFlo® Technologies have been developed to take advantage of the basic precepts of physics and chemistry, involved with the bonds or attractions between different materials, and the development of methods to selectively break bonds to achieve separation.
he MagnaFlo® Technology was developed to utilize the interaction of ions and the exchange of electrons at the molecular level. The chemistry provides the correct environment for manipulation of a target metal and an electrostatic field is used to concentrate the ions (draw moths to the flame, so to speak) in a specific area for the efficient use of electrowinning for collection. The electrostatic field harnesses and uses the Newtonian laws of motion to accelerate particles as they react to energy imparted by the field.
