Microbial control
Biocide enquiries for microbial control in oilfield water and drilling-fluid systems.
How it is used
Microbial growth can contribute to biofouling and deterioration of fluid systems. Product selection requires the target organisms, system conditions, treatment programme and permitted use in the destination market.
Application areas
- Oilfield water systems
- Drilling-fluid microbial control
- Biofouling-control programmes in production facilities
Formulation considerations
Benzalkonium-chloride systems are one approach to microbial control. Confirm active concentration, compatibility and suitability for the selected product.
What we need to select a grade
- Target organisms and monitoring results
- Water or mud composition and existing additives
- Intended use, treatment location and destination market
Product data and handling
Request the current technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the proposed grade. Confirm dosage, compatibility, handling and supply requirements before use.
Supply and use are subject to the applicable product authorisation and label. Request the current SDS and confirm compatibility with the existing treatment programme.
