The Rezyd™ family high-solvency formulations dissolve and disperse tars, asphaltenes, waxes, and polymers, restoring equipment performance and often eliminating the need for mechanical cleaning. The best part? This chemistry is still biodegradable, wastewater-friendly, and designed for closed-loop recovery.

Dissolve More. Do Less.

​​Rezyd chemistries combine the cleaning power of solvent systems with the safety and efficiency operators expect from ZymeFlow. Designed for circulation, boil-out, or Vapour-Phase® use, Rezyd products deliver faster, deeper, and safer results without the toxicity, flammability, or environmental burden.

  • Reduces mechanical work: Deposits dissolve and loosen for efficient flush-out
  • Deploy anywhere: Internal circulation, boilout/cascade, or Vapour-Phase® applications
  • Lower hazard profile: Reduced toxicity and flammability from non-petroleum formulas
  • Process-friendly: Clean-breaking emulsions and reprocessable solvent 

Meet the Family

We’re constantly adding and refining our suite of Rezyd products to clean and restore more applications faster, cleaner, and with less disruption.

Rezyd-X: Everyday Hydrocarbon Cleaning

The versatile workhorse of the Rezyd line, Rezyd-X penetrates, dissolves, and disperses sludges, asphalts, waxes, sulfides, and polymeric deposits via internal circulations or online treatments. Clean-breaking emulsions simplify recovery, and wash solutions route to crude/API for reliable breakout.

  • Dissolves heavy hydrocarbon & polymeric deposits
  • Flexible: internal circulation or online treatments
  • Lower toxicity/flammability, no VOC contribution

Rezyd-HP: High-Potency Solvent

A powerful chemistry with the highest solvency index 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, wastewater-friendly, and does not contribute to VOCs
  • Reduces mechanical work during turnarounds 

Rezyd-VP: Vapour-Phase® Solvent

The power of Rezyd, now applied in steam. Rezyd-VP delivers heavy-duty solvency for tars, asphalts, waxes, polystyrene, and polymeric fouling without circulation equipment. Flexible across a range of steam pressures, and reprocessable thanks to its hydrocarbon composition, reducing generated waste.

  • Vapour-Phase® solvency via single-point steam
  • No circulation hardware or extra mechanical footprint
  • Reprocessable solvent; lower effluent waste

Have questions? We have answers.

What is Rezyd and when should I use it instead of traditional solvents?

Rezyd is a family of high-solvency, biodegradable, wastewater-friendly cleaners that dissolve and disperse tars, asphaltenes, waxes, polymers, and heavy oils — often reducing or eliminating mechanical cleaning. Unlike many petroleum or terpene solvents, Rezyd products are engineered to cut hazard, flammability, and VOC contribution while fitting standard refinery workflows.

How does Rezyd reduce mechanical work during turnarounds?

By softening and liquidizing hardened deposits so they flush with cutter stock or rinse flows, Rezyd shrinks hydroblasting and teardown scope (e.g., trays, packing, exchangers). That translates to fewer confined-space hours and faster returns to service.

Vapour-Phase® or circulation? What’s the right application mode?

Rezyd-VP: Apply via Vapour-Phase® in steam for single-point coverage where hardware footprint is tight; ideal for polymeric fouling and heavy hydrocarbons.


Rezyd-X / Rezyd-HP: Use for internal circulations, boilout/cascade, or online treatments when you want solvent power inside circuits, drums, or exchangers.

Rezyd-X vs. Rezyd-HP vs. Rezyd-VP — what’s the difference?

Rezyd-X (Z67): Versatile internal cleaner for heavy sludge, asphalts, residues, sulfides, polythionates, thiosulfates; clean-breaking emulsions route to crude/API for easy breakout. Non-petroleum with dramatically lower toxicity/flammability and no VOC contribution.

Rezyd-HP (Z71): Highest KB solvency (165+) — our strongest solvent for heavy oils, tar, asphalt; softens barriers so cutter stock flushes deposits; 100% biodegradable, wastewater-friendly, non-petroleum/non-terpene, no VOCs.

Rezyd-VP: Vapour-Phase® solvent for tars, asphalts, waxes, polystyrene, polymeric fouling; reprocessable (hydrocarbon composition) to lower waste; flexible across a range of steam pressures.

Is it safe for our wastewater system?

Yes. Rezyd-HP is 100% biodegradable and wastewater-friendly, and Rezyd-X is also biodegradable/wastewater-friendly, with emulsions that break without additional recovery chemicals so wash solutions can be routed to crude/API separators.

What deposits does Rezyd actually remove?

Rezyd products target thick sludges, heavy deposits, asphalts/tars, waxes, heavy lube oils, residues, sulfides, polythionates, thiosulfates, and polymeric fouling (incl. polystyrene)—in vessels, exchangers, piping, drums, and FCC/Crude/Vac units.

Will Rezyd-VP work with our existing steam system?

Yes. Rezyd-VP is designed for Vapour-Phase® use across varied steam pressures and units; it eliminates the need for circulation hardware and extra footprint while delivering heavy-duty solvency.

Where does Rezyd fit in our turnaround playbook?

Think of Rezyd as a mechanical-work reducer: pre-treat hard deposits, regain efficiency without full teardown, and enable easier tray/packing removal. For tight footprints or complex internals, Rezyd-VP via steam gives single-point coverage.
