Refinery and process chemical solutions that support safer, cleaner, and more reliable downstream operations.
Expert Chem SERV supplies refinery and process chemicals for crude processing, product treatment, wastewater handling, and plant reliability across Iraq. Through our local technical support and international partnerships, we help refineries select suitable treatment programs for their operating conditions, feedstock quality, and performance targets.
Iraqi refineries face tough challenges: heavy and high-salt crudes, overhead corrosion, exchanger fouling, strict fuel specifications and pressure to maximize throughput. As the official Channel Partner of Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions, Expert Chem SERV brings Iraqi refiners Veolia’s proven refinery process chemistry, used in refineries around the world, together with the local presence and fast support of an Iraqi partner.
From the crude tank to finished fuels, we help refiners minimize unplanned downtime, extend run lengths, protect assets and meet product specifications at lower cost.
Crude Desalting and Phase Separation
Veolia Embreak™ and complementary programs
- Embreak™ emulsion breakers for raw crude tanks, desalters, slop and recovered-oil tanks
- Better dehydration and maximum salt removal to protect downstream units
- Metals extraction to reduce catalyst poisoning
- Flexibility to process opportunity crudes and challenging crude blends
- SolSet™ slurry oil settling aids for FCC units
- BrineCLEAN™ program for desalter brine quality and wastewater protection
Overhead Corrosion Control
Veolia LoSALT™, pHilmPLUS™ and the Predator™ program
- LoSALT™ neutralizing amines protect crude unit overheads before, at and after the water dew point, and reduce salt deposits and pitting
- pHilmPLUS™ filming inhibitors: thermally stable protection that is effective from pH 2 to pH 10
- Predator™ program: sensor-based detection and advanced modeling to detect, predict and protect against corrosion when processing opportunity crudes
Fouling Control
Veolia Thermoflo™ antifoulants
- Antifoulant programs for preheat exchangers, hydrotreaters and fuel oil systems
- Longer run lengths, stable heat transfer and fewer unplanned cleanings
- Supported by root-cause analysis, product testing on your crude blends and performance monitoring
Proven results: in a Veolia case study, a Thermoflo program cut naphtha hydrotreater exchanger fouling by up to about 40%, so fouling no longer limited the unit’s run length.
H₂S Scavengers
Veolia ProSweet™
- Control of H₂S and odors in fuel oil, asphalt and intermediate streams
- Liquid formulations that don’t create extra sludge or change system pH
Finished Fuel Additives
Veolia Spec-Aid™
Helping refiners meet fuel specifications cost-effectively:
- Cold flow improvers for diesel, fuel oils and crude
- Lubricity and conductivity improvers for diesel and jet fuel
- Cetane improvers for diesel
- Stabilizers, antioxidants and metal deactivators for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel
- Corrosion inhibitors, dehazers and biocides for fuels and intermediates
Amine Unit Support
- FoamTrol™ antifoams and Max-Amine™ defoamers for amine treating units
- Amine unit health checks and troubleshooting (see our Gas Sweetening page)
