Chlorine Dioxide Treatment and Process:
Chlorine dioxide is a water-soluble gas and has a chlorine-like odor. It is recognized by the EPA for its disinfecting properties. Water used in the drilling and hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells requires treatment to eliminate bacteria and control biofilms. Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidizer, sanitizer and disinfecting solution, and is the most economical and primary choice for water treatment by oil and gas drilling companies. When introduced, chlorine dioxide quickly penetrates bacteria resulting in an instant kill. Without a proper disinfectant, bacteria can become established throughout the oil well. Bacterial contamination can cause plugging, and result in corrosion of oil well equipment, storage tanks, and pipes. Chlorine dioxide generation is a highly specialized process and the preferred method to prevent solids formation and bacteria-related corrosion.
