Ova Chem: Right Way is the Green Way

Investing in R&D solutions to develop new innovative products

The idea of green chemistry relates to a product’s entire life cycle, including its design, raw material usage, production, utilisation and disposal.

With a state-of-the-art Research & Development centre based in Kuala Lumpur and a collection of outstanding chemists, Malaysian outfit Ova Chem prides itself on providing true technical expertise in Green chemical solutions.

Its lean manufacturing plant can currently manufacture up to 12,000 MT products a year. In addition, multiple boutique manufacturing plants are in the pipeline in the South East Asia region for further expansion to increase volume. 

The company develops high-performance, sustainable, environmentally-friendly chemicals from plant and organic waste materials. Its innovative products include:

Ova G-Clean, cleaning solutions from plant-based materials

• Ova G-Base

Growth in the use of vegetable oils has been severely limited by their poor performance, especially in oxidation areas driven by the presence of residual double bonds. Ova G-Base is a high-performance, biodegradable, non-toxic base oil that is synthesised from vegetable oils, categorised under Class V.

• Ova G-Clean

Most of the Clean-Up chemicals in the market today are synthesised from petrochemical products. Ova G-Clean series offers a range of formulated blends of bio-based renewable surfactants and solvents that provides comparable performance against synthetic products.

• Ova G-Lube

Ova G-Lube is formulated using high-performance reclaimed bio-based materials. It generates a thin layer of coat on the contact surface, providing excellent lubricating properties to water-based drilling fluid, which reduces torque and drag, and corrosion effects on metal materials.

• Ova G-Loc

A wellbore integrity solution from recycled materials. It is a formulated blend of recycled polymer, resin and deformable materials to maximise bridging efficiency and prevent differential sticking and potential losses.

Sustainability is Key

The petroleum industry has developed a reputation as a “dirty industry” in the aftermath of catastrophes resulting in high profile ecological damage.

Ova Chem is committed to develop a Green Oilfield additive that is biodegradable and non-toxic, as a way to improve the industry's reputation. 

The company ensures its products are made from sustainable sources, adhering to standards required by discerning customers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It has also realigned its R&D activities to encompass renewable sources such as biomass and waste material.

The company is also making efforts to partner with other like-minded companies to derive keratin from chicken feathers.

Continuous Innovation

The company aspires to continue investing in R&D solutions in developing innovative products, improve processes and enhance consumer services. 

A new green physical facility in Malaysia, equipped with both liquid and powder manufacturing capability is targeted to be completed by the end of 2022.

The green facility will efficiently reduce and recycle waste, leverage renewable energy, utilise smart manufacturing software and is capable of analysing environmental impact – staying true to its commitment towards a safer and sustainable environment.
