SALTGUARD: Comprehensive Halite Protection for Your Entire Production System

SALTGUARD offers a powerful and cost-effective solution to safeguard your entire production system from the damaging effects of halite scaling. As halite scale becomes an increasingly common and serious production impairment, it’s vital to proactively prevent its buildup before it leads to costly downtime and reduced efficiency.

Halite, or sodium chloride, tends to precipitate in production systems due to temperature drops and pressure fluctuations, leading to scale buildup that can clog equipment and reduce efficiency. SALTGUARD is designed to prevent these issues from occurring with a single, efficient application, providing lasting protection that helps maintain optimal production flow.

Whether you’re dealing with the cooling effects of subsurface fluids or rapid pressure drops within your system, SALTGUARD proactively inhibits the formation of halite, ensuring smooth operations and minimizing the risk of equipment failure or system slowdowns.

Choose SALTGUARD for a reliable, low-maintenance solution to the growing challenge of halite scaling.

  • Full-System Protection: SALTGUARD safeguards the entire production system, preventing halite scale from forming in critical areas including the fracture, wellbore, and surface production equipment. This comprehensive protection ensures smoother operations and minimizes costly disruptions.
  • Proppant-Delivered Technology: Unlike traditional salt remediation treatments, which often fail to address halite scale deposits within the fracture, SALTGUARD utilizes cutting-edge proppant-delivered technology. This ensures that the halite-inhibiting solution reaches and protects the fracture zone, where scaling can significantly impair production.
  • Halite Inhibition Across Critical Zones: The innovative design of SALTGUARD effectively inhibits halite precipitation, which is typically triggered by cooling and pressure drops throughout the production process. By preventing scale formation at its source, SALTGUARD maintains the flow of fluids through the entire system, reducing the risk of blockages and equipment failure.

SALTGUARD is the ideal choice for operators looking for a single, efficient application to solve the growing problem of halite scaling. Its low-maintenance, long-lasting formulation offers exceptional value, ensuring consistent production performance without frequent interventions.

Benefits

Why Choose
SALTGUARD

Features

Advanced Attributes
of SALTGUARD

  • Engineered Porous Ceramic Proppant Infused with Halite-Inhibiting Chemistry

    SALTGUARD uses advanced porous ceramic proppant that is specially engineered to deliver halite-inhibiting chemistry directly to the fracture, providing targeted protection where it’s needed most.

  • Durable Encapsulation for Controlled Release

    The proppant is encapsulated with a durable coating that allows for a controlled, gradual release of the inhibitor, significantly reducing chemical washout and ensuring long-term effectiveness.

  • Low Minimum Inhibitor Concentration (MIC) Required

    SALTGUARD’s formulation is highly efficient, requiring a lower minimum inhibitor concentration (MIC) than alternative treatments, which reduces the amount of chemicals needed for effective scale prevention.

  • Effective in Brines with Calcium and Iron

    Designed to perform in harsh conditions, SALTGUARD remains effective even in the presence of calcium and iron in brines, making it a reliable solution for various production environments.

  • Minimal Proppant Replacement

    SALTGUARD replaces just 3% or less of the total pumped proppant or sand volume, offering easy integration into existing processes without significantly altering the proppant load.
