Universal Bacteria Specialist has launched a new anolyte product to eliminate bacteria from hydraulically fractured wells. The environmentally friendly biocide contains no harmful products and is 100% biodegradable.
The Electro-Chemical Activation Technology (ECAT) anolyte achieved a superior bacteria kill count when tested in the fracing process of 10 wells in the Barnett shale and West Texas. Depending on the impurities of the source water used for fracing, the ECAT anolyte typically requires 0.5 to 1 gal of product for each 1,000 gal of water injected into the formation. The product loadings are significantly reduced from other anolyte treatments, which require 8 to 25 gal of product per 1,000 gal of water to achieve a satisfactory bacteria kill rate.
The process uses cell membrane technology that creates a pure anolyte with a shelf life that exceeds six months, eliminating the need for space formerly required for onsite manufacturing. www.universalbacteria.com ?
