Effect of Temperature on the Extraction of Biopolymer from Coconut Residue and the Performance as Drag Reducing Agent in Water Injection System: A Comparative Study

Synthetic and chemically synthesized polymers manufactured as Drag Reducing Agent (DRA) have been proven to be successful in minimising the effect of frictional pressure drop along injection tubing of water injection system. Several studies have been done to find alternatives on DRA sources from nat...
