FRAC ON THE FLY

ClO2 is utilized in FRAC operations to disinfect the frac fluid before it is injected downhole. This preventive treatment addresses issues related to bacteria, iron sulfide, and H2S right from the start. This approach ensures enhanced oil production quality and a more favorable return on investment by minimizing equipment maintenance costs. It can also be applied to produced water for cleaning, allowing for multiple reuse cycles before the need of replenishment arises.

ADVANTAGES OF ClO2 (CHLORINE DIOXIDE)

Selective Oxidant with Low Corrosion Profile: Demonstrates selectivity in oxidation while maintaining a minimal corrosion impact, safeguarding equipment and infrastructure

Absence of Colloidal Sulfur Formation: Unlike certain alternatives, ClO2 does not lead to the formation of colloidal sulfur, preventing potential operational challenges

Effective Biocide Across Various Conditions: Serves as a highly effective biocide across a wide range of conditions, ensuring reliable microbial control

Comprehensive Bacteria Elimination and Biomass Removal: With powerful biocidal properties, ClO2 effectively eradicates bacteria and eliminates biomass, enhancing water quality

Improvement in Skim Oil Quality in SWD Operations: Enhances skim oil quality in Saltwater Disposal (SWD) operations by efficiently removing sulfides

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Control in Tank Headspace: Plays a crucial role in controlling H2S levels in tank headspaces, addressing safety concerns

Enhanced Well Production/Injection Rates through Contamination Removal: Improves well production and injection rates by effectively removing contamination from wellbores

Corrosion Reduction by Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Iron Sulfide (FeS) Removal: Through the removal of H2S and FeS, ClO2 significantly reduces corrosion, extending the lifespan of equipment


In summary, ClO2 offers a range of advantages, including selective oxidation, microbial control, and corrosion reduction, making it a valuable solution in diverse industrial applications.
