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.
