Water Treatment Applications
Leading the industry in conditioning oilfield water through innovative, environmentally friendly, Chlorine Dioxide treatments and other treatment alternatives.


ClO2 Advantages
- Selective oxidant with low corrosion profile
- Does not form colloidal sulfur
- Effective biocide over broad set of conditions
- Kills all bacteria, removes biomass
- Improves oil recovery
- Improves SWD skim oil quality by removing sulfides
- Controls H2S in tank headspace
- Improves well production / injection rates by removing well bore contamination
- Reduces corrosion by removing H2S I FeS

CHLORINE DIOXIDE
FRAC
ClO2 can be used in FRAC operations to disinfect the frac fluid before being sent downhole. Such treatment mitigates issues with bacteria, iron sulfide, and H2S from the beginning. This treatment ensures better quality oil production and higher return on investment due to lower equipment maintenance costs.
Pits & Tanks
Sterilize and disinfect water in pits or tanks. ClO2 can be used on produced water as well to clean it so it can be reused many times before needing to be replenished.
SWD
ClO2 will help break up any oil/water emulsions in the holding tanks of SWD systems for better separation. If bacteria and iron sulfide are causing well injection pressures to rise, ClO2 can be used to destroy the bacteria and break up the iron sulfide, thereby lowering well injection pressure. This can be done on a treatment schedule or at each truck offloading. Keeps storage tanks clean in the process.
Downhole (Production)
ClO2 can be used on wells currently in production to remediate problems with bacteria, iron sulfide, H2S and scaling. ClO2 treatment will help maintain the casing, tubing, and wellhead. It will help produce better quality oil as the ClO2 removes existing bacteria from the formation.
TREATMENT ALTERNATIVES
Other Oxidizers
Aegis has the experience and understanding of applying other oxidizers as disinfectants to treat oilfield water particularly for use as frac fluid. These include peracetic acid (PAA) and bleach.
