    Features
    • AS-40 is proven effective at removing hydrocarbons from surfaces without emulsifying them, so the use of demulsifiers is not required.
    • AS-40 enhances well clean-up, reduces formation plugging and improves permeability and production. Successful applications include hydraulic fracturing and salt water disposal well treatment.

    Application Details
    • CCT-AS-40 is added to fluids at a typical treating rate range from 0.5 to 2 gallon of CCT-AS-40 per 1,000 gallons of treating fluid depending upon water quality.
    • The product can be mixed “on-the‐fly” by using a metered chemical injection pump to control treating rates. Field‐testing is highly recommended to optimize treating rates and achieve performance results.
