Description
SDM CIDE is a highly effective triazine-based biocide used in various oilfield applications. It is very effective against sulfate-reducing (SRB) and other types of bacteria. It is completely soluble in water and brine and safe for formation.
Physical Properties
- Appearance................. Colorless to yellow liquid
- Solubility....... Soluble in water, acid, and alcohols
- pH (neat)............................................ 10.0 -12.0
- Flashpoint (°C)......................................... >100.0
- Specific gravity @ 25°C ......................... 1.08 - 1.10
Applications
SDM CIDE can be used in all types of water-based mud and low-salinity brine systems. It is used to treat makeup water in water-based systems to prevent bacterial attacks on polymers, which can affect the system's properties. It is also used in completion brines and packer fluids to reduce corrosion-related bacterial activity.
SDM CIDE is compatible with sulfite-based oxygen scavengers, as it is not destroyed in its presence, which is the case with glutaraldehyde-based biocides. It also has an excellent HSE profile that makes it an excellent alternative to Glutaraldehyde.
Presentation / Packaging
SDM CIDE is packaged in 5-gal buckets or 55-gal HDPE drums.
