Biocides

Our Bactera Control Systems are designed to prevent problems caused by different types of bacteria for all oilfield & water applications:

• Corrosion: SRB (Sulfate Reducing Bacteria) release corrosive H2S by reducing sulfate ions SO4-2.
  
• Formation Damage (less permeability): IOB (Iron Oxidizing Bacteria) from the highly isoluble ferric hydroxide [FE(OH)3].
• Stell Pitting & Craking: Accumulation of bacteria can lead to pitting of steel, and the buildup of H2S increases the corrosiveness of the water, thus increasing the possibility of hydrogen blistering of sulfide-stress craking.
• Scaling: The hydrogen sulfide [H2S] combined with iron, can form iron sulfide, a scle that is very difficult to remove
• Plugging: SFB (Slime Forming Bacteria) poduces slime that cover surfaces and lead to plugging.
