F O C US United Energy Corp announces increased sales and penetration into new markets worldwide United Energy Corp (UEC) says it has received considerable interest from the Altena group, a leading European chemical tank and pipeline cleaning specialist, for use of its KH-30, KH30S and KX-91 products in the European Market. Altena has fully tested UEC’s product line and approved it for use in its cleaning projects throughout Europe. UEC has begun shipping orders received from customers in Russia and China for its KH-30 and KX-91 products. The company’s new Middle East distributor, United Energy Middle East WLL located in Bahrain, has received its first orders for KH-30, KH-30S and KX-91 products for customers located in Bahrain and Kuwait. KH-30 is a patented mixture of modified oils, dispersants and oil-based surfactants designed to control paraffin and asphaltene deposits in oil wells, pipelines and tanks. It is claimed to result in substantial production increases of between two and five times in paraffin-affected oil and gas wells by allowing for a faster penetration of paraffin and asphaltene deposits. KX-91 is a patent-pending chemical blend specifically developed for the rapid removal of paraffin and asphaltene deposits from oil wells, pipelines and tanks. It has been effective for the removal of heavy deposits due to its wetting ability, dispersability and solvency. KH-30S is a drag reducer, reducing flow impairment caused by paraffin and asphaltene depositions and high viscosity crude oil.
