Here’s an undeniable truth 🗣️📢: We need reliable and sustainable energy systems for the future. And that’s exactly what Global Energy Independence Day (June 10th) helps raise awareness for. Today, many conversations focus on promoting renewable technologies like solar and wind, in an attempt to increase the use of more sustainable energy sources. But we must face the facts: We cannot replace all existing energy sources overnight. What we can do is reduce unnecessary waste, downtime, and resource consumption in the systems already supplying energy today. In oil and gas operations, for example, bacteria in injection and produced water systems can create serious problems: ⚠️Corrosion in pipelines and equipment ⚠️Sulfide formation ⚠️Fouling that slows production ⚠️More shutdowns and maintenance All of this can reduce output, shorten equipment life, and increase the amount of water, energy, and resources needed to keep operations running. Microbial control solutions like Aqucar® help operators control bacterial growth in oil and gas operations. This helps keep operations running more reliably and supports more sustainable use of existing energy infrastructure. Because energy independence is not only about building new renewable energy sources… It is also about improving the systems that already supply energy to millions of people every day. 🔗 Learn more about how #LANXESS supports energy operators improve operational efficiency: https://scom.ly/EY9lO9P Use biocides safely.
