South Africa-based Sasol has announced the launch of TERRAVIS PI for the global oil and gas market.

The TERRAVIS PI series is designed to be a cost-effective solution and serves as an alternate to expensive heavy paraffinic crude operations options, especially in colder environments.

Sasol noted that the products under the new TERRAVIS PI series help improve the flowability of crude oil reducing solvent.

They will also be used to enhance insulation, utility, as well as mechanical removal costs.

Sasol Differentiated Market Development head Silke Hoppe said: “With our TERRAVIS PI product series we address two crucial crude oil properties: yield stress, the amount of stress required to permanently deform the crude oil’s flowability, and pour point, the temperature below which the crude oil loses its flow characteristics.”

TERRAVIS PI products can achieve a yield stress reduction of about 97%. These products also achieve a pour point reduction of up to 35C° in a range of paraffinic crudes.

In July 2018, South Africa’s operating division Secunda Synfuels Operations said it was set to deploy a Honeywell Connected Plant service to monitor the operating reliability of its two Honeywell UOP CCR Platforming units at its refinery in Secunda, South Africa.

In February 2016, the company obtained approval from the Mozambique Council of Ministers to develop more oil and gas fields in Mozambique.
