While polyacrylamide (PAM) is widely recognized for its efficacy in water treatment and sludge dewatering, its applications extend significantly into other industrial sectors, particularly where viscosity modification and friction reduction are critical. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM acknowledges the diverse capabilities of PAM and supplies products that serve these specialized roles, contributing to enhanced efficiency and performance in challenging environments.

In the oil and gas industry, for instance, high molecular weight polyacrylamide is extensively used as a friction reducer in hydraulic fracturing fluids. During the high-pressure pumping of fracturing fluids, the friction generated against the pipe walls can be substantial, requiring significant energy and leading to equipment wear. By dissolving PAM in the water-based fluids, its long polymer chains align with the flow, dampening turbulent eddies and dramatically reducing frictional drag. This allows for more efficient pumping, reduced energy consumption, and the ability to achieve higher injection rates, which are crucial for effective well stimulation. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM provides specialized grades of polyacrylamide suitable for these demanding oilfield applications.

Furthermore, PAM's ability to significantly increase the viscosity of aqueous solutions makes it valuable in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. By injecting high viscosity PAM solutions into oil reservoirs, operators can increase the viscosity of the injected water, improving its sweep efficiency and pushing more oil towards the production wells. This polymer flooding technique is a key method for maximizing oil extraction from mature fields.

The unique rheological properties of PAM also find application in other areas, such as the textile industry for sizing, where it improves yarn strength and weaving efficiency, and in the paper industry, not only as a retention aid but also to enhance the rheology of coatings. Its stabilizing properties are also leveraged in various formulations.
