Key Treatment Capabilities
Stimulate delivers field-proven water management solutions that turn produced and flowback water from a liability into a reusable asset. Operating across Northeast BC and Northwest Alberta, we specialize in treating high-H₂S, high-barium, and iron-laden waters so they can be safely reused in completions, blended with neighboring sources, or disposed of cost-effectively.
H₂S Removal from Produced Water
- Oxidizer-based liquid scavengers (D-Vour series)
Proven removal of H₂S up to 34,000 ppm in the liquid phase.
- High-rate treatment: up to 74 m³/hour with 24-hour operations.
- Real-world example: 1,349 m³ successfully treated in a single 24-hour period.
- Full fluid handling — from flowline through treatment to clean storage (C-Ring or frac pond).
Barium Removal & Fluid Compatibility (D-Bar 3020)
- Targeted reduction of barium (Ba²⁺) to < 100 mg/L for safe reuse or blending.
- Prevents barium sulfate (BaSO₄) scaling when mixing high-barium and high-sulfate waters.
- Large-volume pond treatments: successfully treated 70,000 m³ in ~7 days using high-rate circulation.
- Enables “water-sharing” between neighboring producers by neutralizing incompatible chemistries.
Iron Removal & Control
- Rapid precipitation and removal of dissolved and suspended iron.
- Prevents iron-related scaling, emulsion issues, and bacterial growth.
- Integrated into our standard barium and H₂S treatment programs when required.
Additional Water Treatment Services
- Scale and corrosion inhibitor programs
- Biocide treatments for bacterial control
- pH adjustment and clarification
- On-site compatibility testing and blending recommendations
Real-Time Monitoring & Verification
Every water treatment job includes:
- Continuous H₂S monitoring with Sulfilogger™ sensors (upstream & downstream)
- Daily barium, iron, sulfate, and pH analysis using portable field labs
- Detailed reporting showing before-and-after water quality
Why Producers Choose Stimulate for Water Management
- Reuse over disposal – Turn expensive waste into frac-ready water.
- Neighbor-to-neighbor water sharing – Unlock stranded volumes by solving compatibility issues.
- Regulatory compliance – Meet or exceed AER, BCER, and federal water quality guidelines.
- Cost control – Reduce trucking and disposal fees by treating on location.
- 24/7 execution – Full crews and equipment for non-stop treatment when you need volume fast.
Whether you’re sitting on a full pond of barium-rich water, fighting sour production fluids, or trying to secure compatible sources for your next completion — we have the chemistry, equipment, and experience to make your water work for you.
