Water consumption in today’s oil and gas market is rapidly increasing and this trend is causing the availability of good, quality water to become scarce and expensive. With this variable water quality comes the need for multiple treatment options to solve microbial challenges in oil and gas systems.

The AQUCAR™ Water Treatment Microbiocide portfolio from Dow Biocides offers a wide range of products that will help meet the many different treatment conditions of water for oil and gas stimulation during processes such as fracturing fluids and water flooding.

AQUCAR products fight a wide spectrum of bacteria and fungi, working hard to keep your system running efficiently. Microbial contamination in the form of biofilms and biofouling can cause corrosion, souring, and well and reservoir plugging, which in turn reduces flow rates. Used with any injection water systems, AQUCAR products help minimize biofilms, aid in the prevention of microbially-influenced corrosion, and reduce well and reservoir souring.

Whether you need products in liquid or solid form, want the convenience of jugs or water soluble bags, we have a product to fit your needs.

Key AQUCAR chemistries for use in biofouling control, anaerobic bacterial control, and fluid preservation include glutarldehyde, glut/quat blends, DBNPA, bronopol, and dimethyl-oxazolidine.
