How polyacrylamide (PAM) is used in sewage treatment?

In sewage treatment, using polyacrylamide (PAM) can increase the recycling rate of water reuse. In petroleum extraction, polyacrylamide (PAM) is mainly used in drilling mud materials and for enhancing oil recovery, widely applied in drilling, well completion, cementing, fracturing, enhanced recovery, and other oil field extraction operations.

What is polyacrylamide (PAM)?

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is not only a high-performance flocculants, but also because of the high viscosity of aqueous solution, but also a very good thickener. Due to its thickening, flocculation and regulation of rheological properties it can be used as a drilling fluid, fracturing fluid, and polymer flooding in the exploitation of oil extraction.

What is polyacrylamide used for?

Polyacrylamide is a versatile chemical treatment agent in oilfield. In oil extraction it could be used as a flooding agent, water shutoff regulator, drilling fluid regulator, fracturing fluid additives, especially in cementing, completion and workover. The oil industry is the largest area of polyacrylamide applications.

What is the role of polyacrylamide for drilling mud additives?

1.Polyacrylamide for drilling mud additives. Drilling fluid in oil extraction works as drilling mud performance adjuster. PAM role is to adjust the rheology of drilling fluid, carrying cuttings, lubrication drill bit, favorable drilling.

What is the use of polyacrylamide in tertiary oil recovery?

2.Polyacrylamide for oil flooding. In the tertiary oil recovery (EOR) with enhanced oil recovery, polyacrylamide can be used to adjust the flowability of injected water, increase the viscosity of the driving fluid, improve the efficiency of water flooding, reduce the permeability of water in the ground, To move forward.

What is the use of polyacrylamide in oil extraction?

Oil extraction special polyacrylamide can be used as mud retarder, mud drag reducing agent, mud filter loss agent, mud plugging agent to reduce the difficulty of operation, to avoid accidents; in the completion and workover can be used as a filter, tackifier and clay stabilizer. 2.Polyacrylamide for oil flooding.
