ENVIROSWEET® Sulfide Inhibitor

Effective control of biogenic sulfide production by sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in oilfield water systems generally requires the use of biocides applied as high dose slugs over extended intervals of time to control the growth and proliferation of SRB.

Biocides require precautions to be taken in the field to avoid environmental, as well as employee, exposure. ENVIROSWEET Inhibitor from Baker Hughes offers the oilfield an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional biocide treatments to control biogenic sulfide production and is non-toxic and biodegradable.

Laboratory studies and field trials demonstrate the synergistic effects of ENVIROSWEET Inhibitor and conventional biocides. These combination treatments, can effectively control microbial corrosion, SRB activity, and water clarity, offering a cost-effective alternative to conventional biocide treatments alone. An ENVIROSWEET Inhibitor program can control biogenic sulfide production and significantly reduce total chemical treatment costs.
