Alkalinity pH Control

Bicarbonate of Soda (NaHCO3) is used primarily to remove Calcium contamination from water base drilling fluids, following cementing operations.

Caustic Potash or Potassium Hydroxide is a basic industrial alkali used in a variety of processes in pH control.

Caustic Soda (NaOH) is used primarily to control the pH range in water base drilling fluids.

Citric Acid (C6H8O7) is a multi-purpose weak organic acid which is widely used in oilfield completion and stimulation operations.

Hydrated Lime or Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) is a source of Ca and OH and is used to raise the pH.

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) is a non-corrosive inorganic oxide used as a pH-buffering agent and for neutralizing acid.

Calcium Oxide (CaO) is commonly known as Quick Lime, Hot Lime, or Slaked Lime.

Sulphamic Acid is a dry, non-volatile, non-hygroscopic, odourless, white crystalline stable solid. It is soluble in water and forms a strong acidic aqueous solution that is comparable in acidity to the common strong mineral acids, but it can be safely handled and stored in a dry form.
