  • What is partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA)?
  • Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA), consisting of neutral acrylamide and anionic acrylate groups, is suitable for use in water with <25,000 mg/L TDS 12, 15.
  • What does partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide mean?
  • What Does Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide Mean?
  • Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) is a widely used polymer in the oil and gas industry due to its lesser cost and good water solubility. PHPA is used as a functional additive in water-based drilling fluids.
  • Does polyacrylamide cause membrane fouling during flowback water treatment?
  • Xiong, B. et al. Polyacrylamide in hydraulic fracturing fluid causes severe membrane fouling during flowback water treatment. J. Membr. Sci. 560, 125–131 (2018). Barati, R. & Liang, J.-T. A review of fracturing fluid systems used for hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 131, np –n/a (2014).
  • How does PHPA affect fluid rheology?
  • The introduction of higher molecular weight synthetic polymers typified by partially hydrolysed polyacrylamide (PHPA) allowed the same effect on fluid rheology to be achieved at much lower additive concentrations, a major practical advantage.
