Pinola Chemical

Specialized Additive for Tall Oil Production

In tall oil production, during the acidulation of soap, calcium sulphate and other precipitates can form deposits. These deposits may block pipes, reduce throughput, and increase maintenance requirements.

How Pinola Chemical Works

Pinola Chemical prevents this by reducing the risk of calcium sulphate formation and other scaling. As a result, precipitation in pipelines and process vessels is minimized, equipment is protected, and overall operation remains more stable. For more on the tall oil-production process please see Applications.
