BerrySafe™ ACID REPLACEMENT (AR)

Get a less-corrosive, more cost-effective HCL alternative delivered quickly to your site with our extensive logistics and supply chain networks.

What Is Hydrochloric Acid?

The chemical formula for hydrochloric acid, also called hydrogen chloride, is HCL. Its molecular weight is 36.47 g/mol. It’s a colorless, aqueous solution or gas with a sharp, irritating odor.

Hydrochloric Acid Hazards

Hydrochloric acid (and its fumes) have the potential to corrode human tissue and damage the respiratory system, intestine, skin, mucous membranes, and eyes irrevocably. Long-term exposure at work reportedly causes chronic bronchitis, dermatitis, and gastritis in employees. Animal tests found it had moderate to high acute toxicity from inhalation, according to the EPA. Why put your employees and your operations at risk when there’s an effective, safer alternative?

Why choose BerrySafe™ AR Series?

Berryman produces intensely concentrated modified acid formulas that perform comparably to hydrochloric acid, while being far safer for humans and the environment. They have minimal fumes, are noncorrosive to the skin and tissue, and biodegrade more quickly. In addition, you can dilute them on a 1:1 to 1:100 ratio depending on your application, which reduces the burdens of transportation and storage.

BerrySafe™ AR MX OG is part of the environmentally responsible product offering that minimizes the hazardous exposure levels and fuming properties of HCl. BerrySafe™ AR MX OG is a powerful, low fuming product that has similar solubilizing abilities of a 15% HCl (concentrate) and can be enhanced through the addition of conventional oilfield chemistry.

BerrySafe™ AR MX OG can be utilized in acid fracturing or spearhead applications where more aggressive removal of formation, scale or mineral deposits is required and can safely be used in place of conventional acids.

Due to its immediate and comprehensive spending nature, and increased solubilizing ability, this product is an extremely effective oilfield stimulation product. It can be utilized for fracturing & aggressive spearhead/scale applications or water treatment applications.
