A New High Performance Quarternary Phosphonium Biocide for Microbiological Control in Oilfield Water Systems
Microorganisms can cause severe problems in oilfield water systems. We report here on a new quaternary phosphonium biocide based on tributyl tetradecyl phosphonium chloride (TTPC). Laboratory and field data has shown that TTPC is effective at low concentrations, is fast acting and is effective against both acid producing and sulfate reducing bacteria. It has out performed both glutaraldehyde and THPS in comparative biocidal tests. TTPC is compatible with oxidizing biocides, hydrogen sulfide and oxygen scavengers and has excellent thermal stability which makes it broadly applicable to oilfield water systems.
