For Oil Field Applications
Para-Bac This is the original Micro-Bac International oil-field microbial product. While developed for paraffin control, it has been observed to stimulate production and inhibit scale corrosion.
Para-Bac X Para-Bac X, XX, and XXX were developed to work on specific ranges of the carbon chains. For instance, Para-Bac X is used in oils where the paraffin falls within C16 to C60.
Para-Bac/S This product works on a wider range of paraffin. For most applications, it can replace Para-Bac.
Para-Bac+ The "+" products combine the scale-controlling activities of Litho-Bac with the paraffin-controlling activity of the respective Para-Bac products.
Frac-Bac This product is for the removal of polyacrylate residues from fractures that show evidence of incomplete breakage.
Ben-Bac This product has been developed to target the deposition of select asphaltenes and paraffin and to improve the flow properties of specific low gravity crudes.
Corroso-Bac Corroso-Bac is used for the inhibition of corrosion and scale. Corroso-Bac protects down-hole and surface equipment from corrosion by sequestration, filming, and removing solids that cause under-deposit corrosion. It can be used to control calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate scale.
Litho-Bac This product was developed for water flood injection treatments. It is designed to control calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate scales. It also has nominal paraffin control activity.
Oxy-Bac This product protects equipment from oxygen related corrosion by sequestering oxygen in the system. Oxy-bac also inproves the effectiveness of corrosion inhibitors by removing the depolarizing agents from system fluids.
Tempa-Bac Tempa-Bac is a product developed to control paraffin chains of length C16 and higher in high temperature applications above 240°F.
