Zinc Carbonate

PZT-ZNCA-1 is a basic zinc carbonate used as an H2S scavenger in water-based drilling fluids. It reacts with soluble sulfide in the mud to precipitate insoluble zinc sulfide, taking the sulfide out of solution and reducing both H2S-related corrosion of the string and the personnel exposure risk at surface. Being a dry powder scavenger, it suits water-based systems where a solid additive is preferable to a liquid triazine product. Typical treatment is 0.25 to 2.0 lb/bbl (0.7 to 5.7 kg/m3), adjusted against anticipated or measured H2S concentration. Supplied in 25 kg multi-wall bags. For sour gas and crude oil production streams rather than drilling fluid, PZT-SCAV-1 triazine-based liquid scavenger is the appropriate product.

Use Cases & Applications
  • H2S scavenging in water-based drilling fluids where sour formations are expected
  • Reducing sulfide stress cracking risk on the drill string
  • Lowering H2S exposure risk at the shakers and mud pits
Pros
  • Precipitates sulfide irreversibly as insoluble zinc sulfide
  • Dry powder form suits water-based mud where a solid additive is easier to handle
  • Dose scales directly with measured or anticipated H2S concentration
Cons & Limitations
  • For production streams rather than drilling fluid, a triazine liquid scavenger (PZT-SCAV-1) is the correct product
  • Zinc compounds carry discharge and disposal restrictions in some jurisdictions - confirm before use
  • Zinc content is quoted as representative of standard grades; request a CoA for a specific batch value
