Biocide Glutaraldehyde

Biocide Glutaraldehyde

Biocide glutaraldehyde is a chemical additive used in the oil field to reduce slime-forming bacteria and control sulfate-reducing bacteria. These biocides, available in various formulations, are added to drilling fluids, oilfield water systems, transmission pipelines, and storage systems to enhance operational efficiency and reduce microbial activity.

Types of Biocide Glutaraldehyde

Biocides are categorized into four major groups:

  • Disinfectants and General Biocidal Products
  • Preservatives
  • Pest Control
  • Other Biocidal Products

There are two primary types of biocides:

  • Oxidizing Biocides : Include chlorine, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, bromine, and ozone.
  • Non-Oxidizing Biocides : Include quaternary ammonium compounds, bronopol, THPS, DBNPA, and glutaraldehyde.

Application of Biocide Glutaraldehyde

  • Continuous Injection : Concentrations range from 5-100 ppm, depending on the system being treated.
  • Batch Application : Concentrations range from 15-250 ppm over 10-16 hours, applied one or more times per week depending on the system.

Advantages of Biocide Glutaraldehyde

  • Microbial Growth Inhibition : Effective in enhanced oil recovery systems, industrial recirculating cooling waters, and non-food contact paper manufacturing.
  • Broad-Spectrum Biocide : Targets a wide range of bacteria, particularly sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and algae.
  • Compatibility and Stability : Miscible in all water types, including seawater and brine solutions, without organic solvents. It demonstrates excellent chemical stability and compatibility with most water treatment chemicals.

Applications in the Oilfield

  • Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria Control : Prevents gas souring, pipeline clogging, and microbial-induced corrosion of equipment and pipes.
  • Unconventional Oil and Gas Practices : Used in hydraulic fracturing to control microbial growth and optimize biocide use.
  • General Microbial Control : Manages slime-forming bacteria, iron-oxidizing bacteria, and bacteria that attack polymers in fracture and secondary recovery fluids.
