Why It Matters
Waterflood and saltwater-disposal operators dose oxygen scavenger continuously to remove dissolved O2 that drives pitting corrosion and iron-oxide fouling in injection water and downhole equipment. It is a recurring, bulk, continuously metered chemical buy distinct from produced-water clean-up
Solution Approach
Waterflood and saltwater-disposal operators dose oxygen scavenger continuously to remove dissolved O2 that drives pitting corrosion and iron-oxide fouling in injection water and downhole equipment. It is a recurring, bulk, continuously metered chemical buy distinct from produced-water clean-up 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 rates—and benchmark current treatment performance.
2
Chemistry Selection
Match base chemicals to your operating envelope. Factor in compatibility with existing programs, regulatory constraints, and downstream impacts.
3
Dosage & Delivery
Determine optimal treat rates through jar testing or field trials. Configure packaging (drums, totes, ISO tanks) to match consumption and storage logistics.
4
Monitoring & Adjustment
Track KPIs—coupon rates, residuals, separator performance, water quality. Adjust chemistry and dosage as conditions change.
