Calcium Bromide
What does Calcium bromide?
Calcium Bromide is a white powder with no odor that is made from the calcium salt of hydro tropic acid, a volatile acid used to make other industrial compounds. Clear brine fluid is it, and also molecular formula is; CaBr2, which has a density of 14.2 lbs/gal . In oil and gas completion and drilling operations, Its combined with calcium chloride to render drill cuttings brine-free.
Usage of Calcium Dibromide
The major use it is as a component of high-density clear drilling, completion work over, and packing fluids to control wellbore pressures.
Furthermore, it is utilized in various other applications.
- In photography
- Medicine
- Sizing compounds
- As a food preservative
- In flame retardant blends
What are the physical and Chemical properties of products
Some main chemical properties include:
- Toxicity
- Heat of combustion
- Ph value
- Flammable
- Rate of radioactive decay and chemical stability
In addition, it’s a white hygroscopic powder available in its anhydrous form. Its density is 3.35 grams per liter and the melting point is 730 degrees C Its edge of boiling over is 1935C . It’s dissolvable in water, ethanol, methanol, and acetone, however it’s insoluble in natural solvents.
Benefits of bromide
- In fact It’s non-damaging to the formation
- Thermally and chemically stable
- It can be blended with other solutions containing bromides and chlorides
- And also it contains 52% weight calcium bromide in the solution
- It can used with calcium chloride brains and dried to formulate non-damaging fluids of densities from 11.7 lbs/gal to 15.1 lbs/gal
