The Petrol Flux Facilitator, is an advanced additive developed to improve the transport performance of heavy and extra-heavy crude. Rather than functioning as a conventional diluent, it is designed to reduce the adverse effects of viscosity, improve flow behavior, support dehydration, help control asphaltenes, and operate with existing infrastructure. Its purpose is to lower operating costs while bringing a more efficient technological standard to crude transport.
Built around a more intelligent cost structure, P.PF. introduces a more efficient approach to heavy crude transport by addressing the operational burden created by viscosity. It works within existing infrastructure while supporting improved flow behavior, lower dilution dependency, and stronger economic performance. The result is a more modern technological framework for moving heavy crude with greater efficiency and commercial logic.
It is not a diluent. PPF addresses the main challenge in transporting heavy and extra-heavy crude through an approach that is entirely different from that of traditional surfactants, with the remarkable advantage of being fully compatible with current infrastructure.
What makes the Petroleum Flow Facilitator superior against the Nafta?
What makes P.F.F. superior to naphtha is simple: it replaces an expensive legacy transport logic with a more efficient one. While naphtha depends on high dilution rates, costly recovery, and additional thermal and refining burden, P.F.F. is positioned as a next-generation transport technology for heavy crude. In your project materials, it is associated with lower dosage, full or near-full recoverability, simpler separation by decantation, lower cost per processed barrel, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. The advantage is not only technical. It is economic, operational, and structural
❌ Conventional diluent.
❌ Relies on heavy dilution of crude.
❌ Around 30% to 33% of transported crude volume .
❌ Costly recovery through distillation / cracking.
❌ Partial and operationally expensive.
❌ Mixed with crude, adds downstream burden and can affect distillation load .
❌ Recovery remains costly, so operating burden persists cycle after cycle.
❌ Works within current systems, but under a costly legacy model.
❌ Higher thermal, recovery, and processing burden .
❌ Partial and operationally expensive.
✔ Next-generation transport technology .
✔ Addresses the adverse effects of viscosity.
✔ Project materials position it 10%.
✔ Separation by gravitational decantation before refining.
✔ Positioned in project materials as 90% to 100% recoverable.
✔ Positioned as preserving refinery tower capacity by separating before entry.

The Asphalt Mixture Catalyst A.M.C. is being evaluated by infrastructure agencies in the United States, Central America, and private contractors in oil and gas logistics.
It allows paving strategies based on design and territory, not geography or equipment limitations.
P.P.F. delivers a clear economic edge over catalytic naphtha in a 100,000-barrel/day model. With lower base cost, full recovery, and no recovery expense, it reduces daily operating cost from $2.541 million to $764,700, generating a daily advantage of $1.776 million and strong upside for partners.
