Innova Treat – Advanced pH Conditioning & Water Treatment Additive
Innova Corporate (India), a leading manufacturer and global exporter, offers Innova Treat—a high-performance pH conditioning additive engineered to optimize drilling slurry performance. By increasing alkalinity, Innova Treat effectively precipitates harmful metallic ions, such as calcium and magnesium, into insoluble carbonates. This chemical neutralization prevents slurry contamination, making it indispensable when dealing with acidic makeup water, brackish conditions, or aggressive groundwater.
For peak operational efficiency, the pH of makeup water must be stabilized before drilling commences. While 7 is neutral, high-performance polymers like Innova Mud Powder and traditional bentonite systems require an alkaline environment to hydrate fully. We recommend a pH range of 8 to 10 for freshwater operations and a strict pH of 10 for saltwater environments to ensure maximum viscosity and filter cake stability.
Application Guide: Innova Treat should be introduced to the makeup water prior to adding other slurry components. For best results, slowly sift the additive into the system. Since contaminants can fluctuate during excavation, pH levels should be monitored continuously. Innova Treat offers versatile dosing options; it can be added directly into the borehole, the slurry tank, or the mud pit to maintain a buffered, contaminant-free drilling fluid.
