One of the major challenges facing the oil and gas industry including oil refineries, crude oil terminals, and process and cleaning facilities is the treatment of highly toxic hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan gases generated in various stages of the production and transportation of petroleum hydrocarbons. These gases represent significant health and safety risks for employees and the surrounding communities. Solutions remove these toxic gases as well as carbonyl sulfide (COS), carbon dioxide (CO2) and naphthenic acids without degrading fuel efficiencies.
Additionally, FUEL-WASH and DF-701 products provides an advanced line of treatment solutions for the removal and treatment of hydrocarbon sludge residues found in oil refineries, crude oil terminals and process facilities.
These breakthrough solutions offer a cost-effective alternative that are substantially less toxic and less harmful to the environment than the harsh, caustic chemicals that are currently in use.
Safety
Solutions are GRAS certified, enzyme free, and non-toxic. These solutions are so safe that they don’t require special handling requirements under OSHA or DOT guidelines.
Toxicity
The products line is synthesized from ingredients which are safe for use in food and food adjutants. Aquatic toxicity is very low; LC-50/96 for juvenile rainbow trout is more than 1,000 ppm at use levels (concentrate levels vary).
Corrosivity
Solutions are isotonic balanced with the pH of concrete. They are not corrosive to wastewater piping systems and, due to the H2S removal, the corrosion to the system and infrastructure is abated.
Biodegradation
The product line is biodegradable under anaerobic conditions with methane, carbon dioxide, and water. This virtually prevents the formation of solids, salts producing EC (Electrical Conductivity), or nitrates.
Application
Very simple and does not require plant shutdowns. No special equipment or storage tanks are needed.
With Global Aqua Solutions, industries no longer need to rely on more expensive, highly corrosive, unstable, and dangerous to handle chemicals for odor and FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) control such as:
- Bleach-Chlorine
- Ferric Chloride
- Ferrous Chloride
- Ferrous Sulfate
- Hydrogen Per. 50% Oxygen
- Bioxide (Calcium Nitrate)
- Nitra-zyme
- Thio-guard
- Calcium Hydroxide
- Potassium Permanganate
