Solution Approach
RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Treatment Workflow
1
System Assessment
Characterize operating conditions — fluid composition, temperature, pressure, flow, and H2S/CO2/water cut — and benchmark current treatment performance.
2
Chemistry Selection
Match scale and corrosion inhibitors, biocides, or demulsifiers to the operating envelope, factoring compatibility, regulatory constraints, and downstream impacts.
3
Field Trial & Dosing
Determine treat rates through bottle and field trials, and configure continuous or batch delivery and packaging (drums, totes, ISO tanks) to logistics.
4
Monitoring & Adjustment
Track corrosion coupon/ER rates, residual inhibitor, and separator and water-quality performance, adjusting chemistry and dose as wells change.
Recommended Chemistries (6)
Potassium amyl xanthate (PAX)
CAS 2720-73-2
Specialty Additives
Sulfide mineral collector
Strong sulfide collector: chemisorbs on the mineral surface making it hydrophobic so it attaches to air bubbles
Quick view
Full Details
Sodium isobutyl xanthate (SIBX)
CAS 25306-75-6
Specialty Additives
Sulfide mineral collector
Shorter-chain xanthate giving more selective sulfide collection at lower cost

Potassium ethyl xanthate (PEX)
CAS 140-90-9
Specialty Additives
Wetting
Potassium ethyl xanthate is the shortest-chain xanthate collector, giving the most selective (lowest-collecting-power) sulfide flotation for cleaner separations alongside PAX/SIBX

Copper sulfate pentahydrate
CAS 7758-99-8
Acids & Salts
Biocidal Action
3288 (COPPER SULFATE PENTAHYDRATE) · Class Activator: copper ions adsorb onto sphalerite so xanthate can collect zinc sulfide
