Unleash Superior Microbial Protection with TeamChem Biocide In the challenging realms of oil and gas production, industrial water systems, and drilling operations, microbial contamination poses a silent threat—leading to souring of reservoirs, corrosion of pipelines, biofilm formation in equipment, and degraded fluid performance. TeamChem Biocide is a cutting-edge, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent meticulously formulated to eradicate harmful bacteria, fungi, and algae, ensuring system integrity and operational reliability.

Blended with potent quaternary ammonium compounds, isothiazolinones, and synergistic stabilizers, TeamChem Biocide delivers rapid kill rates while maintaining compatibility with oilfield fluids and materials. It effectively prevents hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) generation, inhibits sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), and controls slime buildup, resulting in extended equipment life, reduced maintenance costs, and compliance with stringent environmental standards. Whether combating reservoir souring in mature fields or protecting cooling towers in refineries, TEAMCHEM Biocide stands as your frontline defense against microbial-induced failures.

Key Features of TeamChem Biocide

  1. Broad-Spectrum Microbial Control TeamChem Biocide targets a wide array of microorganisms:

  • Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and acid-producing bacteria (APB)

  • Aerobic and anaerobic biofilms

  • Fungi, algae, and yeast in water systems

  • Pathogens in drilling and completion fluids

Its multi-action formula ensures comprehensive protection, achieving 99.9% kill rates in under 30 minutes across diverse pH and temperature ranges.

  1. High Efficacy in Harsh Conditions Engineered for extreme environments:

  • Stable in high-salinity brines (up to 200,000 ppm TDS)

  • Effective at temperatures from 20°C to 150°C

  • Resistant to organic load and shear stress in dynamic systems

  • Low dosage requirements (10-50 ppm) for cost-effective treatment

This resilience makes it indispensable for deepwater drilling, fracking, and high-pressure operations.

  1. Non-Corrosive and Material-Compatible Unlike aggressive biocides, TeamChem Biocide is:

  • Non-oxidizing and pH-neutral (6.5-8.5) to prevent corrosion

  • Safe for carbon steel, alloys, elastomers, and polymers

  • Free of heavy metals and halogens for eco-compliance

  • Minimal impact on fluid rheology or viscosity

Ideal for sensitive applications where equipment longevity is paramount.

  1. Rapid Deployment and Long-Lasting Protection TeamChem Biocide offers immediate and sustained action:

  • Instant kill on contact with fast penetration into biofilms

  • Residual activity up to 72 hours post-dosing

  • Compatible with batch or continuous injection systems

  • Easy integration with existing water treatment protocols

This minimizes treatment frequency, slashing operational downtime by up to 40%.

  1. Versatile for Oilfield, Water Treatment, and Industrial Systems Tailored for multi-sector use:

  • Reservoir souring control in EOR and waterflooding

  • Biofilm prevention in pipelines and storage tanks

  • Microbial management in cooling towers and wastewater

  • Fluid preservation in mud pits and frac tanks

Its adaptability ensures seamless performance across upstream, midstream, and downstream processes.

Technical Advantages

  • Appearance: Clear, amber liquid with mild odor

  • Solubility: Fully water-soluble; dispersible in hydrocarbons

  • Biodegradability: Readily biodegradable per OECD 301 guidelines

  • Stability: Shelf life of 24 months; heat-stable up to 180°C

  • Dosage Efficiency: Active concentration >50%; low environmental persistence
