ENZYME SELECTION

Choosing Starch Breaker Pro

Compare the listed substrate and reaction products with the outcome required for your application. Check the supplied grade, activity specification and operating conditions, then choose a pack size for your evaluation.

Application benefits

  • Targeted enzymatic cleavage of susceptible starch polymers
  • Evaluate viscosity reduction and polymer-residue removal in your complete fluid
  • Available in 1 L
  • 10 L and 25 L liquid enzyme packs
  • with technical support and bulk supply

Technical details

Enzyme contents alpha-Amylase (high temperature), alpha-Amylase (medium temperature), beta-Amylase Target substrate starch; test the actual polymer grade Pack sizes 1 L, 10 L and 25 L liquid enzyme packs; select the required size above. Stock numbers 1 L: ST0901; 10 L: ST0902; 25 L: ST0903 Dose and treatment time Established through laboratory screening; no universal downhole dose Process compatibility Evaluate retained activity at the intended temperature, pH, brine composition and contact time, with all fluid additives present

How to evaluate

Identify the polymers and obtain representative fluid and filter-cake samples. Compare untreated controls with enzyme doses and treatment times under actual process conditions.

Measure rheology, polymer breakdown and cleanup; assess filter-cake removal and permeability before planning a field treatment. Complementary products & formulation notes Cellulose Breaker Pro can complement amylase where the fluid also contains susceptible cellulose derivatives.

Add Xylan Breaker Pro only where xylan is present. Cellulose Breaker Pro — select by the polymer present in your fluid.

Xylan Breaker Pro — select by the polymer present in your fluid. Blend ratios require testing.

These enzymes do not directly digest petroleum hydrocarbons or dissolve mineral bridging solids. Bespoke Polymer Breaker Send your polymer grades, complete fluid formulation, brine, temperature, pH and contact time.
