Product Description
Water Force WF-1 is a powerful water treatment agent to treat the calcium water.
Application
- Used to treat cement-contaminated mud.
- Used as a low-cost, fast-acting dispersant in low-weight freshwater drilling fluids.
- Effective at low concentration levels.
- Effective in controlling free calcium in low pH drilling fluids.
- Utilized as a clay dispersant to reduce bit balling.
- The acid portion provides a source of free hydrogen ions to combine with free hydroxyl ions producing water as a byproduct.
- The phosphate portion acts as a dispersant effective at low temperatures and concentrations.
- High temperature can convert phosphates to orthophosphates which act as a viscosifier.
Advantages
- Used as a calcium scavenger and pH reducer,may be added to combat cement contamination
- Used in low-weight freshwater drilling fluids to reduce viscosity and gels and to reduce the hardness level.
Recommended Treatment
Normally, SMD Water Treatment Agent Water Force WF-1 can be added in concentrations of 2%-4% with 0.5 to 1.0 ppb for each 1 ppb of excess lime. Major adjustments to pH are more effectively accomplished with Phosphoric Acid or Citric Acid. SMD Water Treatment Agent Water Force WF-1 should be added in small incremental amounts of as little as 0.1 ppb to reduce viscosity and gels. For cement contamination, Water Force WF-1 additions will vary with the amount and hardness of the cement.
