Chemistries
Our patented water-based chemistries provide a robust, eco-friendly alternative to traditional solvent-based methods, offering faster, safer, and more effective cleaning for the most demanding industrial environments.
Efficiency and Safety Redefined
Our water-based solvent chemistries are pioneering a new standard for chemical decontamination efficiency, sustainability, and reliability. By integrating seamlessly into steam systems via our Vapour-Phase® process, ZymeFlow’s solutions provide superior access to even the most difficult-to-reach areas, reducing injection points and minimizing equipment needs.
These advanced formulas go beyond conventional methods to rapidly de-oil, eliminate benzene, and neutralize hydrogen sulfide and pyrophoric iron sulfide. The result? Reduced waste, accelerated project timelines, and a safer work environment for your team.
The ZymeFlow Difference
For over 30 years, we’ve been delivering reliable, safe, and highly effective chemical decontamination solutions that exceed our clients’ expectations—on time and within budget.
Our suite of chemistries continues to expand, addressing specialized challenges such as occluded contaminants, high concentrations of pyrophoric materials, stubborn ammonia, and extreme temperature requirements. With proactive maintenance and optimized machinery, you’ll increase output, reduce downtime, and streamline operations.
ZymeFlow® Family
Our flagship water-based surfactant and oxidizer solutions are designed to tackle the toughest contamination challenges with unmatched efficiency – while being fully biodegradable and safe for both equipment and personnel. Engineered for Vapour-Phase® applications, this suite of chemistries effectively de-oils, eliminates LEL, and oxidizes harmful chemicals.
ZymeFlow UN657
The original product in the ZymeFlow family, ZymeFlow UN657 is a versatile decontamination solution that excels at cleaning almost any critical refinery equipment, from crude distillation circuits to fractionation columns.
- Reduces hydrocarbon loading in effluent
- Self-breaking emulsion
- Neutralizes pyrophorics on contact
- Completes entire process in 8-12 hours
ZymeFlow OS
Specifically designed for offshore decontamination, ZymeFlow OS offers the power of ZymeFlow chemistry alongside elevated environmental compliance. This green chemistry is safe for use in even the most sensitive offshore ecosystems.
- CEFAS and REACH certified
- Removes pyrophorics, sulfides, and hydrocarbons
- Portable steam generators reduce space usage
Zyme-Ox Plus
This hybrid surfactant and oxidizer blend accelerates the oxidation of pyrophoric iron sulfide and the removal of ammonia. Offering quick, single-step decontamination, Zyme-Ox Plus is the ideal solution for circulation applications.
- Chemically removes complex sulfides and ammonia at low temperatures
- Used in presoaks and flushes to oxidize pyrophorics
- Protects against corrosion by neutralizing polythionic acids
Zyme-HT
Known as the “Ammonia Breaker,” Zyme-HT is a powerful Vapour-Phase® solution for the rapid neutralization of ammonia, pyrophorics, and residual hydrocarbons. This solution completes decontamination in half the time of traditional methods.
- Fits within existing steam-out procedures
- Effective in vessels, towers, and exchangers with high ammonia levels
- Performs all functions as ZymeFlow UN657N
Solvent-Based Chemistry Solutions
These powerful formulations break down asphaltenes, tars, and waxes, restoring equipment performance – often eliminating the need for mechanical cleaning. Like our water-based solutions, our solvent-based chemistries are designed to be environmentally conscious and reprocessable within plant systems.
Rezyd-X
A versatile internal cleaner designed to dissolve and disperse heavy hydrocarbon sludges, asphalts, and residues on contact, Rezyd-X can be used in either water or oil washes and quickly and effectively clean vessels, heat exchangers, and tanks. For aqueous applications, Rezyd-X can be used with our proprietary Boilout method to access occluded contaminants.
- Dissolves heavy deposits quickly
- Emulsions break without additional chemicals
- Safe and flexible for internal circulations or online treatments.
Rezyd-HP
A powerful chemistry with highest solvency index chemistry on the market, Rezyd-HP is formulated to rapidly break down heavy oils, tar, and asphalt deposits. This solvent enhances cutter stock circulation and reduces the need for mechanical cleaning, saving both time and costs.
- Breaks down hardened deposits in trays, packing, and piping
- Safe, 100% biodegradable, and wastewater-friendly
- Reduces mechanical work during turnarounds
CatZyme Chemistries
ZymeFlow’s proprietary solutions for decontaminating fixed-bed reactors include CatZyme RT and CatZyme LT. REACH-certified CatZyme RT accelerates the removal of residual gases and solid deposits while preserving catalyst integrity. CatZyme LT offers the same high-performance decontamination for more temperature-sensitive applications.
- Injected directly into hydrogen sweeps for fast decontamination
- Reduces LELs and personnel exposure risks
- Removes sticky hydrocarbon deposits to allow free-flowing catalyst during offloading
- Shortens decontamination timelines, lowering nitrogen use and flaring
