XANTHAN GUM

PETRA XAN GUM API

XANTHAN GUM PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Xanthan Gum Polymer is a high molecular weight Xanthan Gum biopolymer. It used to viscosity water based drilling and completion fluids. It is primarily a viscosity modifier for Freshwater and Salt Saturated Muds.Xanthan gum is an extracellular acidic heteropolysaccharide produced by the fermentation of xanthomonas campestris bacterium. Made from corn starch and other carbohydrates through the processes of culturing, extracting, evaporating and grinding, it is widely used in industries such as food, oil, mining, pharmacy and textile.

XANTHAN GUM Usage

Xanthan Gum Polymer manufactured by PETRA INDUSTRIES should be added Slowly through the hopper to prevent lumping. The time required for the product to yield to its ultimate viscosity depends on the salinity, temperature and Shear. The amount of the Viscosifier to be used will depend on the desired viscosity but normal dosage ranges from 0.5-2.5 lb/bbl (1.43-7.1 kg/m3) the concentration may be increased to 4 lb/bbl (11.5 kg/m3) in case of difficult hole cleaning conditions.
