Glutaraldehyde Based Biocide
Microbes in Your System? Time to Shut them Down
In oil and gas systems, microbes are troublemakers. They build slime. They rot metal. They mess with flow. That is where glutaraldehyde helps. It finds the bacteria and wipes them out. Fast and deep. It does not just slow them – it kills them.
Whether it is sulfate-reducing bacteria or other unwanted bugs, this biocide clears the line. And keeps it clean. No foam. No clogging. Just steady protection.
Key Benefits of Glutaraldehyde
01
Quick kill action
Starts working in minutes. Target microbes before they spread.
02
Broad-spectrum defense
Handles many types of bacteria. Including sulfate-reducers and slime-formers.
03
Low residue
Breaks down easily. Des not leave heavy traces in your system.
04
Prevents biofilm buildup
Stops those sticky layers that choke pipes and reduce flow.
05
Helps reduce corrosion
By removing microbes, it cuts down on microbially influenced corrosion (MIC).
06
Works with other additives
Plays well with corrosion inhibitors and scale control agents.
Applications of Glutaraldehyde
Water injection lines
Keeps microbial growth out of high-water systems
Produced water systems
Treats water after it comes out of the well. Keep tanks and pipes clean.
Storage tanks
Controls bacteria in fluids stored for long periods.
Drilling and completion fluids
Keeps the mud free from microbial spoilage.
Pipeline maintenance
Used in pigging or cleaning routines to kill off internal growth.
Fracturing Operations
Prevents bacteria from entering the formation during fracking.

FAQs
on Glutaraldehyde
It kills bacteria quickly. And it helps keep pipes and tanks clean. That protects metal and fluids.
Yes. When used correctly, it will not damage your equipment or react badly with other chemicals.
It works fast. And it covers a wide range of microbes. Plus, it breaks down easily after use.
Indirectly, yes. It removes the bacteria that cause MIC, which is a big cause of internal corrosion.
It works best in water-based systems. But in multiphase setups, it can still do the job well.
