Description
Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium Sulfate (THPS) is a powerful, broad-spectrum, non-foaming biocide widely deployed in oil and gas water injection, produced water recycling, hydraulic fracturing, industrial cooling towers, and pipeline disinfection. THPS is specifically targeted to eradicate sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and acid-producing bacteria (APB) that cause severe reservoir souring and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC).
Biocide Dosing Optimization & Bacteria Control
Maintaining effective THPS residual concentrations is essential to prevent biofilm formation and pipe degradation. Conventional methods rely on slow laboratory assays or complex chemical colorimetry with toxic reagents. Fast on-site optical testing allows field operators to immediately verify active biocide strength and adjust treatment rates.
Fast On-Site Spectroscopy vs. Laboratory Delays
The OndaVia THPS Analysis Kit (Analyte Code: B052) delivers factory pre-calibrated optical measurements in under 5 minutes without hazardous chemical mixing.
