Paratene^® SHP (Stabilized Hydrogen Peroxide)

Iron sulfides and polysulfides result from the interaction of hydrogen sulfide with iron. Many Canadian oilfields have production problems directly related to the buildup of iron sulfides. These problems include, plugging of water injection wells, the formation of pads in treaters, and agglomerated deposits on contactors in amine systems.

Paratene SHP is a blend of stabilizers and hydrogen peroxide designed for the effective removal of iron sulfides, polysulfides, and organic matter while not generating H₂S or oxygen and reduces problems of uncontrolled decomposition. 

Features and Advantages

- Stable at all temperatures
- Removes iron sulfides and polysulfides
- Does not generate H₂S
- Reactive at low temperatures 
- Safe on aluminum, carbon steel and stainless steel 

Industrial Cleaning Applications

Paratene SHP can be applied in industrial systems such as amine contactors, distillation towers, glycol systems, municipal water treating systems, and other systems where hydrogen sulfide may be present. The amount of Paratene SHP required will depend on the total amount of expected deposit. Additional Paratene SHP can be added to the system as the job progresses. Concentrations of more than 5% hydrogen peroxide must be avoided, as higher concentrations of H₂O₂ can be corrosive to carbon steel.

Oil and Gas Well Cleanouts

Paratene SHP can be applied as a batch treatment in oil and gas wells to dissolve polymer based drilling mud. The treatment volume of Paratene SHP depends on the extent of the problem, the geometry of the injection zone, and the porosity of the zone. Paratene SHP is blended as a finished product and is applied undiluted. The treatment volume of Paratene SHP should be pumped into the well followed by an equal volume of 15% hydrochloric acid

Water Injection Wells

Paratene SHP can be applied as a batch treatment in water injection wells. The treatment volume of Paratene SHP depends on the extent of the problem, the height of the injection zone, and the porosity of the zone. Paratene SHP can be applied undiluted or diluted at 1:1 with fresh water. The treatment volume of Paratene® SHP should be pumped into the well followed by a slug of water, followed by an equal volume of 15% hydrochloric acid.
