PBTC Chemical: A High-Value Additive for Stable Oilfield Refill Water Systems
PBTC chemical — formally known as 2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic Acid - PBTC or 2-Phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC) — is a versatile, high-performance phosphonate widely used to protect water systems from scale, corrosion and microbial issues. Maxwell Additives, a leading PBTC manufacturer, supplies high-purity PBTC grades designed specifically for demanding industrial uses. In oilfield refill water systems — where produced water, makeup water or recycled water are reused for drilling, injection or other oilfield operations — water quality and equipment protection are critical. PBTC chemical helps control scale formation (like calcium carbonate and barium sulfate), slows corrosion on steel…
