Its low viscosity characteristics also extend the service life of the drill bit, resulting in significant overall economic benefits.
Environmental friendliness: Potassium formate in drilling waste liquid is biodegradable and meets the SY/T 6787-2010 environmental protection standard, avoiding pollution of soil and water by traditional drilling fluids.
Typical case:
PDF-THERM drilling fluid system: This seawater based high-temperature resistant high-density polysulfide system improves the stability of the heat-resistant polymer by adding potassium formate, allowing the drilling fluid to maintain good rheological properties at 180 ℃. It has been successfully applied in the South China Sea deepwater drilling project.
Shale gas development: In shale gas wells in the Sichuan Basin, potassium formate drilling fluid inhibits shale hydration and dispersion, resulting in dry small round particles of drilling cuttings and a 40% reduction in return volume, significantly reducing waste disposal costs.
Environmental Protection: Pioneer in Green Snow Melting and Low Temperature Refrigeration
1. Airport road snow melting agent
Potassium formate liquid snow melting agent (containing potassium formate ≥ 50%) achieves efficient de icing by breaking the adhesion between the ice layer and the road surface. According to actual test data from Beijing Capital International Airport, at -15 ℃, its snow melting speed is 2.3 times faster than that of sodium chloride, and its corrosion rate on concrete is reduced by 90%. More importantly, potassium formate is chloride free, avoiding stress corrosion cracking of metal structures (such as aircraft landing gear) and extending equipment life by 3-5 years.
2. Low temperature freezing liquid
Potassium formate ethylene glycol composite freezer (-50 ℃ to -20 ℃) has been widely used in:
Food cold chain: Complies with FDA food contact standards and can be used for low-temperature storage of meat and dairy products. In cold chain logistics, potassium formate freezing solution reduces the juice loss rate of frozen food by 12% after thawing, maintaining better taste and nutrition.
Industrial refrigeration: In central air conditioning systems, its thermal conductivity is increased by 15% compared to traditional fluorocarbons, and energy consumption is reduced by 12%. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower TV Tower in Shanghai has saved 500000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually after using potassium formate refrigerant.
Skating Rink: Potassium formate cryogenic solution stabilizes the friction coefficient of the ice surface at 0.05-0.08, meeting the training needs of professional athletes. The curling venue of the Beijing Winter Olympics adopts this technology to ensure that the flatness error of the ice surface is less than 0.1 millimeters.
Agricultural field: "intelligent regulators" for crop growth
The application of potassium formate powder in agriculture breaks through the traditional potassium fertilizer category, forming a three-dimensional model of "nutrient supply+environmental regulation+stress resistance enhancement".
