• Drag reducing agent (DRA), also called drag reducer or flow improver, is a
long chain polymer chemical that is used in crude oil, refined products or
non-potable water pipelines. It is injected in small amounts (parts per
million) and is used to reduce the frictional pressure drop along the
pipeline's length. Its use has allowed pipeline systems to greatly increase in
traditional capacity and extend the life of existing systems.
• The global drag reducing agent market was 181.7 MT in 2016 and is
expected to increase to 316.3 MT by 2023. Overall, the drag reducing
agent market performance is positive with the global economic recovery.
