Reduce pumping pressure and increase flow rate
Drag reduction polymers function by delaying the onset of energy inefficient turbulent flow by maintaining energy efficient laminar flow:
-At the same flow rates pumping pressure can be reduced by 80%.
-At the same pumping pressure flow rate can be increased by 30 to 40%.

Drag reduction polymers are utilised where hardware or pumping constraints do not allow an alternative mechanical solution. The drag reduction effect is achieved using just a few parts per million (ppm) polymer in small pipe applications and around 50ppm in large pipe applications.
