DI Water Lab Grade 2 Ltr
Effective Descaler for BWMS Ballast Water Management System
CITRIC ACID is a source of hydrogen ions (H+) used to reduce the pH of a drilling fluid. Both liquid and powdered. CITRIC ACID provides a layer of hydrogen ions around active clays, reducing their zeta potential and thus reducing their ability to imbibe water. This function translates to fewer solids, less swelling of the solids in the drilling fluid, reduced wellbore swelling, and more efficient solids control equipment function. A secondary benefit of CITRIC ACID is the formation of sodium citrate, a thinner. This helps counteract the flocculating influence of the hydrogen ions on first being introduced to the drilling fluid system.
Application
Uses
CITRIC ACID is primarily used as a pH buffer, a low solids, non-dispersed, low pH drilling fluid.
Benefits
CITRIC ACID is primarily used to quickly reduce the pH in drilling fluid. One of the benefits of using Citric Acid is that it forms Sodium Citrate in the presence of Sodium based polymers such as DMA and OMNIPOL II. Sodium Citrate acts as a dispersant in water based fluids, helping to control the rheology. A third benefit of CITRIC ACID is the reduced hazard to personnel when compared to other acids normally used in drilling applications. CITRIC ACID will not reduce hardness levels in drilling fluids as will phosphoric acid.
Treatment
CITRIC ACID is added through the hopper when using the dry material, and added directly to the drilling fluid when using the liquid. A diaphragm-
metering pump may be utilized with the liquid for continuous
pH control.
Treatment levels vary with the concentration of salts, particularly hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH- ).

Eye Contact: Immediately irrigate with flowing water continuously for 15 minutes. If irritation persists
consult medical personnel.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. If irritation persists consult medical personnel.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If irritation persists consult medical personnel.
Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. If
injured party is conscious, give two glasses of water. Seek medical attention.

Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Use
water spray to cool nearby containers and structures exposed to fire.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition
to unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds. Hazardous combustion products may include and are
not limited to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Keep all unnecessary personnel away. Prevent additional discharge of material. Prevent material from
entering sewers, watercourses, or low areas. Contain and clean spilled material by vacuum or broom
sweeping and remove to disposal container. Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and
ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
Store out of reach of children; keep container closed; store in a cool dry well-ventilated place. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Use in a well-ventilated area; do not breathe dusts. Wash hands thoroughly
after handling.
