Petro-FLO

Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide

Petro-FLO™ is an EPA-registered pesticide that effectively controls biofilm forming bacteria that contaminate oil wells and petroleum producing systems.

Petro-FLO eliminates sessile and planktonic bacteria and is extremely effective at penetrating and breaking down slimes that accumulate in the wellbore, surface pipes, and storage tanks. Petro-FLO has an EPA CAT III toxicity rating. Petro-FLO does not combine with organics to form any significant amount of chlorinated carcinogenic by-products like THMs or chloroform. Petro-FLO breaks down primarily to table salt, minimizing its environmental impact when used as directed.

Applications

ln fracturing treatments, activated Petro-FLO is typically added on-the-fly at the frac tanks or into the blender. Onsite water testing is performed to determine the optimal dosage required to treat the particular source water being used.

As an alternative, the source water may be batch treated in frac tanks or pits. All water should be treated with Petro-FLO, including pump down and drill-out water, to ensure complete dispersal throughout the well system.

  • Compatible with friction reducers and guar gels
  • Improves the condition of produced and flowback water for re-use
  • Effective over a broad pH range
  • Stable formula
  • Breaks down to table salt

Petro-FLO is Effective Against Slime in Oil Wells

Frac water transfer lines, tanks, pits, pumps and fracturing equipment can all be heavily contaminated with large colonies of biofilm-forming bacteria. Inadequate control of these organisms may be the leading cause of well contamination incidents where wells have been treated with insufficient doses of common biocides. Using Petro-FLO, the slime structure is oxidized and dissolved, and the exposed bacteria are then much easier to control. After the slime and bacteria have been brought under control, Petro-FLO provides a level of residual activity that helps inhibit re-growth.

Safe to handle when used as directed.
