Bio-polymers for Improving Liquid Flow in Pipelines - A Review and Future Work Opportunities

Several decades following Tom's discoveries on polymeric drag reducing agents (DRA) continue to see research efforts to produce robust and shear-stable DRA. Most efforts revolve around established artificial polymers, but questions have been raised recently about their environmental impact and...

description Several decades following Tom's discoveries on polymeric drag reducing agents (DRA) continue to see research efforts to produce robust and shear-stable DRA. Most efforts revolve around established artificial polymers, but questions have been raised recently about their environmental impact and safety. As such, a large number of researchers are looking into natural materials especially bio-polymers as substitutes. Several bio-polymers are found to exhibit drag reducing capabilities in aqueous media. All these factors suggest that bio-polymers would make a suitable alternative to artificial DRAs. This paper aims to present several works to-date on bio-polymer DRAs, and expose new possibilities.
