Microbiologically influenced corrosion caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is a daunting challenge in the oil and gas industry, leading to equipment degradation and increased maintenance costs. Traditional biocides often lose effectiveness over time as bacteria develop resistance.
To address this issue, ARBACIDE-403 is a specifically designed biocide to provide enhanced protection by suppressing the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria and disrupting biofilm structures, which accelerates the penetration of bactericidal agents and prevents biofilm regrowth. Moreover, ARBACIDE-403 utilizes innovative biocidal components that reduce reliance on conventional chemicals, preventing bacterial adaptation and ensuring long-term control and improved operational efficiency in oilfield environments
APPLICATION
- ARBACIDE-403 Type C is ready-to-dilute concentrate for biocide formulations in water-methanol mixture.
- ARBACIDE-403 Type A is ready-to-use biocide consist of biodispersing surfactant at wide ethoxylation range (10-20 moles of ethylene oxide) with recommended dosage range of 75 ÷ 200 ppm.
- ARBACIDE-403 Type M is ready-to-use biocide consist of biodispersing surfactant at lower ethoxylation range (2-5 moles of ethylene oxide) with recommended dosage range of 125 - 250 ppm.
- The reagent does not contain quaternary ammonium compounds and does not exceed the content of volatile organochlorine compounds in the oil.
COMPOSITION
