Prochinor^® AM are antifoam/defoamer additives. They prevent or cure foam formation in crude oil processing and storage facilities, and in gas and water treatment facilities.

There are three categories of Prochinor^® AP:
- Flow improvers which reduce the viscosity of waxy crudes/condensates
- Pour point depressants (PPD) which  lower the pour point to avoid gelling of the crude oil/condensate in production, processing, storage and transportation facilities and/or meet export pour point specifications
- Paraffin deposition inhibitors/dispersants to prevent paraffin deposit formation in production, processing, storage and transportation facilities

In addition to demulsifiers used in onshore or offshore production units or in refineries, the residual oil in water has to be separated in a specific effluent treatment plant using deoilers. Deoilers Prochinor ^® FL can be flocculants or coagulants.
