DF-702™ is a coke and scale softening agent designed to release the hydrocarbon bonding; which can make the coke and scale compounds rock hard and extremely difficult to remove even by the best of mechanical processes.

Scaling is the general term for buildup of layers which deposit on the internal pipe surface from the liquid they carry. In this instance the reference to scaling is only concerned with hydrocarbons, for scaling in water systems see water treatment system buildup of Struvite and its treatment with Z-AMP™.

Hydrocarbon scaling either forms out of the minerals present in the crude oil or out of the water which is very often contained in it. The scale builds up on the inner surfaces of the pipe, and it slowly decreases the cross section opening of the pipe. If there are no counter measures taken, the internal pipe opening could be completely blocked over time. It is imperative to clean and remove all such residual deposits from time to time.

DF-702 is a complimentary solution for the many companies who have made their mark in the field of Industrial Services through the design and utilization of a maintenance procedure called pigging. Line pigging (or line swabbing, as it sometimes known), is the process of cleaning distribution lines by inserting a small device known as a pig into the lines and pushing it through them.
