FQE Chemicals We create innovative chemicals that improve the efficiency, safety and financial performance of your

At FQE Chemicals, we help our clients improve the efficiency, safety, and financial performance of their assets by creating innovative and unique chemistries that provide superior value and performance. Our clients benefit from reduced equipment downtimes, gain additional revenue from recovered sources, and realize significant savings on maintenance costs. We’re a Company focused on innovation: we specialize in chemistry that solves specific engineering, environmental, safety, workflow, and economic issues at your facility. We approach the creation of our chemistries differently than our competitors. We first discern how problems arise, then reverse engineer those problems in order to reach a result that is both innovative and practical. We create paradigm-shifting chemistries because we have a unique perspective on their creation. Our team has extensive and proven experience in developing award-winning products.

Nobody wants to take a unit down for cleaning at these margins. So don't.

A High-Intensity Treatment is FQE Solvent-H+ injected straight into your running process stream. 24–60 hours. No shutdown, no blinding, no bundle pulls, no confined space entry, no hydroblasting.

At one western U.S. refinery — eight crude preheat exchangers, 48-hour injection:
• U-coefficients up to +120%
• +15,000 BPD throughput
• ~$60,000/day recovered production
• Zero downtime

The chemistry's phase-transfer efficacy keeps asphaltenes suspended, so the foulant leaves with your product instead of re-depositing downstream.

Honest caveat: this dissolves organics, not coke or inorganic scale. We'll tell you which one you have.

We’re pleased to share that FQE Chemicals Managing Director David Jones will be speaking at the NORM & Natural Radiation Management Global Conference in Houston, Texas, on October 21, 2026.

David’s session, “Recovering the unrecoverable: Chemical NORM decontamination of assets beyond mechanical cleaning,” will focus on approaches to removing naturally occurring radioactive material from industrial assets while improving operational safety and minimizing turnaround time.

If you’ll be attending, we look forward to connecting there.

🔥Your heat exchangers are costing you more than you think.

When U-values drop, furnace fuel consumption climbs. Production rates suffer. And traditional mechanical cleaning means pulling bundles for days—or weeks.

FQE® Solvent-H+ restores heat transfer coefficients without the downtime:
âś“ U-coefficients increase up to 120% post-treatment
âś“ Clean in-place in 1/3 the time of conventional methods
✓ Zero waste—dissolved hydrocarbons return to the process stream

Stop letting fouling dictate your production limits.

We’re not just cleaning filters; we’re cleaning up your O&M budget. 📉💰

Between reduced disposal weights and avoiding the high costs of non-selective oxidizers, FQE Pyrophoric typically saves producers 30% in long-term costs.

FQE Pyrophoric blocks the sulfide reaction sites immediately upon contact. Faster, safer, cheaper. Pick all three.

Why use a sledgehammer when you need a scalpel? 🔨 vs 🔪

Potassium Permanganate is non-selective and messy. FQE Pyrophoric is the precision tool for iron sulfide. It’s safer for your personnel, easier on your budget, and doesn't require the massive wastewater management that traditional oxidizers do.

Your inlet gas filters shouldn't come with a "monthly fire hazard" subscription. 📅🔥

If you’re changing filters every month, you’re dealing with a lot of pyrophoric scale. Stop the "soak and hope" method. FQE Pyrophoric deactivates the scale on contact, letting your team work faster and sleep better.

Some things are better when they’re spicy. Your inlet gas filters are not one of them. 🌶️🔥

If your filters start smoldering the moment they hit the air, you’ve got a pyrophoric iron sulfide problem. You could keep soaking them in endless barrels of water (and paying for the disposal), or you could give them a 30-minute bath in FQE Pyrophoric.

Our chemistry doesn't just wet the scale; it blocks the sulfide reaction sites to prevent oxidation entirely. Safe disposal, zero drama.

Neutralize Hâ‚‚S and Pyrophorics In-Situ.

Sour water tanks contain some of the most dangerous materials in a refinery: high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (Hâ‚‚S) and pyrophoric iron sulfide.

We don't wait to treat these hazards outside the tank. We neutralize them inside. Using FQE Hâ‚‚S Scavenger and FQE Pyrophoric, we remediate these hazards in-situ, eliminating the need for external batch treatments or thermal oxidizers.

Process Benefit:
By neutralizing hazards before the tank is even opened, we dramatically reduce worker exposure and eliminate the lengthy degassing periods associated with traditional methods. Decontamination happens in hours, not weeks.

Conventional tank cleaning is expensive and risky. We offer a chemical tank cleaning. No hazardous waste is emitted, and up to 98% of your oil is recovered!
