Business Wire
Specialty chemicals company, Rhodia (NYSE:RHA), introduces
Tolcide(R) PS50A, for the control of bacteria and iron sulphide
deposition, in oilfield and water treatment operations. Tolcide(R)
PS50A is a fast acting, cost-effective alternative with excellent
environmental attributes, such as biodegradability and low order of
aquatic toxicity. "Oil and gas production can be affected
significantly by micro-organisms and deposits," says Kansas
Hernandez, Rhodia's North American business director for Oilfield
chemicals. "Tolcide(R) PS50A biocide is a cost-efficient and
effective way to alleviate both problems in a single formulation.
This new technology assists improved oil and gas production and
decreases hazard caused by microbiologically induced corrosion."
Tolcide(R) PS50A is newly approved by the U.S. EPA and currently
used in many environmentally-regulated areas around the world
including the North Sea for oilfield applications. Rhodia supplies
a large range of performance chemicals for oil drilling,
stimulations, cementing, and production fluids drawing on a large
