ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENSS OF BIOPOLYMER SYNTHESIZED FROM COCONUT HUSKS AS DRAG REDUCING AGENT IN WATER INJECTION SYSTEM
Drag reducing agents (DRA) are chemical agents used to reduce the pressure drop in a turbulence fluid of fluid inside a pipe, in this case the pressure drop of injection water inside the water injection pipelines from the surface facilities to the reservoir. In this research, biopolymer which derive...
