Oil-soluble organic polymer driven from aloe vera as drag reducing agent for crude oil flow in pipelines

In the present work, an organic oil-soluble drag-reducing agent (DRA) is introduced and experimentally tested. The new additive is driven from aloe vera mucilage extracted directly from the aloe vera plant. Polymer grafting process was implemented to change the solubility of the new additives from w...
