TL;DR: Guar gum and its derivatives have attracted an increasing amount of attention over the last three decades, predominantly due to two main reasons: firstly environmental concerns, and secondly the realization that our petroleum resources are finite as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, two water-soluble synthetic polymers and several polysaccharides were compared for friction reduction effectiveness during increased exposure to turbulent flow in a 0.117 × 41.0 cm fine bore tube at a constant solvent wall shear stress of 4200 dynes/cm2 and wall speed of 4 × 105 sec−1.
Abstract: Two water-soluble synthetic polymers and several polysaccharides were compared for friction reduction effectiveness during increased exposure to turbulent flow. Solutions were passed through a 0.117 × 41.0 cm fine bore tube at a constant solvent wall shear stress of 4200 dynes/cm2 and wall shear rate of 4 × 105 sec−1. After one pass through the tube, greatest friction reduction at low polymer concentrations was in the order poly(ethylene oxide) > polyacrylamide > bacterial polysaccharide from Xanthomonas campestris > guar gum. As a result of mechanical degradation, after 40 passes of 40 ppm solutions, friction reduction effectiveness was in the order polyacrylamide > polysaccharide from Xanthomonas campestris > poly(ethylene oxide) > guar gum. Degradation curves, the effect of concentration on degradation, and boundary layer and pipe flow applications are discussed.
