rDRA™ Polymer

Drag Reduction Designed for NGL Service

Fluid Efficiency’s rDRA™ polymer is designed to reduce frictional pressure losses in natural gas liquids pipelines, helping operators increase throughput through existing assets. Unlike conventional drag reducers, the product is engineered as part of a removable system, addressing the downstream contamination concerns that have historically limited DRA use in NGL service.

Reduced Pipeline Drag

The polymer is designed to improve flow efficiency during pipeline transport by reducing frictional pressure losses, supporting greater throughput without relying solely on new pipeline construction.

Designed for Removal

The polymer is engineered to interact with Fluid Efficiency’s proprietary downstream removal system before the product reaches sensitive processing equipment.

Focused on Natural Gas Liquids

Fluid Efficiency’s current commercial focus is NGL pipeline service, where conventional drag reducers have faced product-contamination and fractionator-fouling constraints.

Removable DRA Technology for NGL Pipelines

Unlocks NGL Pipeline Capacity

Natural gas liquids pipelines have historically been unable to use conventional drag reducing agents because residual polymer can foul downstream fractionation equipment. FE’s removable DRA changes that, enabling operators to increase throughput from existing NGL infrastructure.

Drag Reduction with Near-Complete Removal

FE’s proprietary removable DRA reduces frictional pressure losses in the pipeline, then is removed downstream through a patented lock-and-key mechanism. This allows operators to capture the benefits of drag reduction without contaminating downstream equipment.

Field-Proven and Ready to Scale

FE has demonstrated drag reduction in live pipeline conditions and proven removal at lab scale, with further field validation underway. The technology is built for rapid commercial deployment and scalable adoption across multiple pipelines.

COMMERCIAL READINESS

Built for Rapid Deployment and Scalable Adoption

FE’s removable DRA is not a lab curiosity. The technology has already demonstrated drag reduction at a live customer site, with additional validation steps underway to support broader deployment across NGL pipelines. Our commercial model is designed for rapid rollout, attractive operator economics, and scalable adoption across multiple systems.

Field-Proven Performance

FE has already demonstrated drag reduction under live pipeline conditions. Further field validation is underway to confirm removal performance and broaden operating confidence under representative NGL conditions.

Operator-Aligned Economics

The value proposition is built around clear operator benefit: increased throughput, utility savings, capital avoidance, and greater system optionality. FE’s pricing is designed to reflect only a share of the value created.

Scalable, Asset-Light Growth

Manufacturing and deployment are structured to scale quickly through third-party partners, allowing FE to expand without heavy fixed infrastructure and to support multiple pipeline rollouts in parallel.
