Product Overview
Key Features
DEFOAMTM -A: DEFOAM-A additive is a liquid defoaming agent formulated with higher alcohols to control foaming in all water-base drilling fluids containing freshwater, brackish water, seawater, saltwater, and saturated saltwater, as well as completion fluids.
Typical Physical Properties
- Physical Appearance- Clear, colorless liquid
- Specific Gravity- 0.94 @ 68OF (20OC)
- Flash Point, COC- 232OF (111OC)
- Odor- Sweet alcohol
- Pour Point- >70.6O F (-57.0OC)
- Boiling Point- 491OF (255OC)
DEFOAM-A is a wide-applicationproduct that reduces the foaming tendencies of water-base drilling fluids. It is compatible with freshwater muds, brackish water muds, seawater muds, saturated salt muds, brine completion systems and all common mud additives. DEFOAM-A is easy to mix, works quickly, is effective in low concentrations and is a more persistent defoamer than alternative products. Normal treatments of DEFOAM-A range from 0.10 to 0.20 lb/bbl (0.29 to 0.58 kg/m3). The use of DEFOAM-A is recommended for foam prevention when making periodic treatments with organic materials such as lignosulfonate, lignite and tannin-based additives. When preparing brines, a pretreatment of 0.25 lb/bbl (0.72 kg/m3) of defoamer is effective in preventing foaming. DEFOAM-A should be added to the mud pits in a location that allows the product to be incorporated into the entire circulating mud system. DEFOAM-A should not be diluted, but should be added directly to the drilling fluid system by either a drip method from a 5-gal container or as a shock by broadcasting over the surface of the pit. Dilution significantly reduces the effectiveness of the product.
Advantages
- Easy to mix. Works quickly and is effective at low concentrations in a wide range of systems
- A persistent defoamer
- Aids in the removal of dissolved oxygen
- Controls foaming in fluids viscosified with polymers
- Helps stabilize pump pressure by removing trapped air and gas
- Low-toxicity product and environmentally acceptable at the recommended concentrations
Not effective in muds that have excessive gel strengths
Toxicity and Handling
- Bioassay information is available upon request
- Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
DEFOAM-A is packaged in 5-gal (18.9-1) cans and 55-gal (208-1) drums
