Applications

Coagulation
H₂S scavenging
Refinery de-oiling
Oil production flooding

Dosing Guidelines

Dosing depends on application. For coagulation: 50-300 mg/L. For H₂S scavenging: proportional to sulfide concentration. Jar testing recommended.

How It Works

Ferrous Chloride destabilizes colloidal particles through charge neutralization. In H₂S applications, it reacts to form insoluble iron sulfide precipitates.

Usage Tips

Handle with care — corrosive liquid. Use chemical-resistant pumps and piping. Store in cool, well-ventilated area.

Sık Sorulan Sorular

What is the primary difference between Ferric and Ferrous Chloride?▼
Ferrous Chloride contains iron in the +2 oxidation state, making it effective for specific applications like H₂S scavenging and anaerobic treatment. It's particularly useful in oil field applications and refinery de-oiling systems.
How should Ferrous Chloride be stored to prevent oxidation?▼
Store in sealed containers with minimal air exposure to prevent oxidation to ferric form. Keep in cool, well-ventilated areas away from oxidizing agents. Use nitrogen blanketing for long-term storage of large quantities.
Can Ferrous Chloride be used in aerobic treatment systems?▼
While possible, Ferrous Chloride oxidizes to ferric form in aerobic conditions. For aerobic systems, direct use of Ferric Chloride is typically more cost-effective and predictable in performance.
What are the main applications for Ferrous Chloride in oil refining?▼
Primary uses include H₂S scavenging in sour water systems, oil-water separation enhancement in DAF units, and heavy metals precipitation in refinery wastewater treatment.
How does solution concentration affect handling and performance?▼
Higher concentrations (up to 30%) reduce shipping costs but require more careful handling due to increased corrosivity. Lower concentrations are easier to handle but may require larger dosing systems and storage volumes.
