Why is innovation the hallmark of DK Energy Services?

Without innovative thinking, we simply wouldn’t be in business. With technological advances at the forefront of everything we do, we’re able to solve problems others shy away from and help you – and us – stay a step ahead of the market.

As a matter of business, Dorf Ketal routinely invests 10% of its gross revenues into research programs. This enables us to serve our customers with unique solutions year after year.

Chemical manufacturing is the core of our business, and it is inherently an industry that requires intensive research on a day-to-day basis. As a result, we are constantly evolving to find new ways to produce better products and improve our processes.

“Sustainable chemistry,” is a common practice within DK Energy Services. For the past 30 years, we have explored ways to make your daily necessities less damaging and to find alternatives that either optimize, reduce the cost of, or even entirely replace any harmful chemicals.

DK Energy Services will remain focused on:

1. Chemistries that solve your problems or reduce your cost-to-produce: for instance, our MaxScav™ suite of H2S scavengers deliver the benefits of:

    a. Greater sulfur capture per unit time per unit chemistry added, reducing the quantity of chemicals needed to meet H2S specifications.
    b. Increased rate of reaction, achieving higher scavenging efficiencies resulting in fewer downstream effects.

Due to utilization of catalysts that selectively accelerate the H2S capture reactions without causing overspending which can be proven in a short trial.

2. Remote operations: leveraging advances in sensor technologies, communication and control networks allows for end-to-end digitalization of supply chain, data insights and scorecards. A 20% to 40% efficiency improvement potential would be accompanied by a similar reduction in vehicular emissions.

Mitigate unintended methane releases: Fixed and mobile sensors installed on drones, airplanes, and satellites can alert operations staff to existing or impending methane releases and link to maintenance management systems. Our customers rely on us to solve problems they didn’t have yesterday, to prepare for the complexities of tomorrow.

Several unique technologies will make it to the Land Oil market within DK Energy Services for the US and Canada covering:

  • Patented emulsion breaking technologies.
  • Unique wax inhibition technologies.
  • Drag Reducers produced and engineered by Dorf Ketal.
  • A suite of H2S scavengers catalyzed or non-Nitrogen based.
  • Proven Multitreat packages with improved water solubility and increased biodegradability.
  • Programs that support the inhibition of sulfide scales.


  • Innovation Runs in the Family

    As part of the Dorf Ketal family of companies, DOES benefits from innovation occurring throughout all the Dorf Ketal portfolio of companies. The recent acquisition of Fluid Energy, a technology that has a significant impact on improving HSE profile, greatly reducing Water Consumption and CO2 emissions from operations, while reducing or eliminating the risks associated with storing, transporting, and handling strong mineral acids, is one another example of the innovation occurring within at Dorf Ketal.
