Product Details
FOAMER ES
Non-Alcohol Based High Performance Foam
FOAMER ES:- is a non-alcohol based foam used for diamond and rotary drilling.
- provides an environmentally acceptable foaming agent to be used in mineral exploration, oil and gas exploration, and water well drilling operations.
- has excellent half-life comparable to the leading foams on the market.
- gives an immediate tight foam with good lifting characteristics.
- can be enhanced by the addition of Matex, Mapac, or DD 1200 to create a significantly stiffer foam if required.
Below is a biodegradability chart comparing this to a common foaming agent. Please note the biodegradability of the Foamer ES is 99.9% after 2 or 3 days. The second point to consider is that the other component, besides the one on the MSDS, is water.As to previous locations the Foamer ES has been used as a drilling aid for monitoring wells, the following are a few examples: China Lake Base, California, and Lawrence Livermore Labs, California, by PC Exploration and Hickman Air Force Base, Hawaii, by Soil Sampling and Harding Lawson & Associates.
SD4 (Shake Flask Evaluation of the Biodegradability) AOS
| Sample | Percent Biodegradation |
|---|---|
| AOS 2-S | 99.99 |
| AOS 4-S | 100.0 |
| AOS 6-S | 99.8 |
| AOS 8-S | 99.9 |
| C, LAS (Standard) | 94.0 |
Biodegradation:
The biodegradability of AOS is extremely rapid and complete. Studies using The Soap and Detergent Association’s screening test (Shake Flask Test) are contained in the above table.
Application:
Foamer ES can be mixed in water tanks and introduced into the airstream. A foam injection pump may also be used.
Dosage:
Normal Drilling Conditions: 0.5%-1.0% by volume
Excessive Water Flux: 2.0%-3.0% by volume
Shipping and Storage:
Available in 5 gallon (20 liter) pails, 55 gallon (205 liter) drums, or 2 x 2.5 gallon (10 liter) jugs.
