?Cudd Energy Services and Bio-Cide International have introduced Petro-Flo, an innovative new fracturing additive registered by the Environmental Protection Agency as an oilfield biocide. It is a safer, more effective, and environmentally friendly biocide for use in slickwater fracturing operations.
Petro-Flo does not combine with organics to form carcinogens or other harmful decomposition byproducts; it actually degrades to simple table salt. The biocide also rapidly kills a wide range of microorganisms. According to the companies, the chemistry has been laboratory- and field-proven to control sulfate-reducing, acid-producing, and slime-forming bacteria. In addition, it effectively penetrates and breaks down biofilm from within and prevents the formation of new biofilm.
The active ingredient in Petro-Flo is safe enough that it is used directly on food, is an ingredient in mouthwash and eye drops and is used to disinfect food processing plants and hospital operating rooms. It also is used to treat billions of gallons of drinking water every day. www.cudd.com
