Anionic friction reducers for freshwater and brine programs, selected around water chemistry, hydration and pumping conditions.
Anionic friction reduction
Matrix A Series offers anionic friction reducers for different water conditions. Evaluate hydration, friction reduction and fluid behavior against the pumping requirements.
MTM A15
Freshwater anionic friction reducer
MTM A19
Mid-brine anionic friction reducer
MTM A20
High-brine anionic friction reducer
Matrix A55
Anionic friction reducer for high-TDS applications
The water defines the comparison
A15 covers freshwater applications, A19 mid-brine and A20 high-brine programs. A55 provides an additional anionic option for high-TDS applications. Grade selection also depends on hardness, iron, residual chemistry and the water blend.
Evaluate the full package
Test the selected grade with the intended biocide, scale-control product, clay-control chemistry and any residual additives in the water. Include the intended concentration, mixing sequence and hydration time.
What to bring
Provide the water analysis, current FR, flow and temperature conditions, required viscosity response, complete additive package and supply requirements.
Friction-reducer formulation
Water, polymer design and the complete additive package shape the selection.
Water & conditions
Water source and blend, salinity, hardness and iron, plus flow and hydration time.
Polymer design
Molecular weight, charge and monomer balance, and chain architecture.
Chemical package
Other additives and residuals, concentration and sequence, and handling and supply format.
