Improved hydraulic fracturing compositions are disclosed which help reduce potential negative environmental impact by hydraulic fracturing. The disclosed compositions have flammability and toxicity and are relatively safe for the environment. The compositions may also contain biodegradable components.

Low-toxicity, low-flammability, environmentally-safe, friction reducer fluid for hydraulic fracturing

Non-flammable, VOC-free organosilane quaternary ammonium compositions are provided in the form of pure or substantially pure water-soluble products that have bactericidal, fungicidal and viricidal activity and which are capable of bonding to various surfaces to form durable hydrophobic coatings. The resulting compositions are free of unreacted chloropropyltrialkoxysilanes, alkylamines and organic solvents that would otherwise provide flammable, corrosive, and/or toxic properties thereby inhibiting their safe and effective use in surface care, personal care and coating products.

Solvent-free organosilane quaternary ammonium compositions, method of making and use

Therapeutic skin cleansing and multifunctional coating compositions containing hydrogen peroxide and an organosilane quaternary compound in aqueous formulations are used to treat skin disorders including wounds, abrasions, ulcers, burns, infections, irritations, microbes, soil, water, psoriasis, acne vulgaris, blemishes, age spots, sclerosis, other physical or chemical injuries, and other skin deficiencies.

Storage-stable organosilane quaternary compounds are provided in the form of adducts with urea (clathrates). The urea-organosilane quaternary clathrates enable the shipment, storage and preparation of compositions without hazardous solvents for end-use by manufacturers and consumers. Multifunctional cleansing and coating compositions are prepared employing the clathrates without sacrificing the properties and benefits of the organosilane quats.

New and in-use fire sprinkler systems can be sterilized by employing antimicrobial gases. The gases include steam, oxygen, and chlorine. Water added to the system after sterilization can be sterilized to prevent the reoccurrence of microbiological contamination.

Sterilization of fire sprinkler systems

Physiologically acceptable and non-corrosive silicone compositions are used for treating surfaces such as glass, porcelain, ceramic, marble, granite, metal, coated metal, plastic, wood, painted wood, cement, leather, textile, cloth, and other hard or soft composite surfaces, to render them water and soil repellent. Volatile organic compound (VOC) free cream, paste, powder and solid compositions are provided by the inclusion of particulate stabilizers in the silicone compositions. Solventless silicone compositions provide numerous advantages with improved water and soil repellency qualities.

A method to chemically clean and immediately passivate a water distribution system to quickly form a passivation layer. The system may be a potable water system, a non-potable water system, a water well or a fire protection system such as a fire sprinkler system and may be treated with a biocide. A section of the system is isolated and chemically cleaned, then is immediately passivated using a high concentration of passivating agent. A passivating layer quickly forms, then the concentrated passivating agent is removed and a maintenance concentration of passivating agent is added. The cleaned and passivated section is restored to the system to provide improved water flow.

Method of cleaning and passivating a fire protection system

Cleaning and passivating water distribution systems

A method for controlled removal of carbonate blockage from interior walls of water conduit systems having substantial reduction in flow capacity. A section of the system to be cleaned is isolated and an aqueous liquid is circulated to establish baseline liquid flow rates. An acidic cleaning composition which removes the blockage but which generates carbon dioxide gas is then added under controlled conditions to a circulating aqueous cleaning solution. The fluid flow rates and pH are monitored throughout treatment. Adjustments are made if necessary to maintain a controlled amount of carbon dioxide gas liberated. The aqueous acid cleaning solution is circulated in an open loop system with continued addition of acid until the outflow rate decreases and once again equals the inflow rate. Substantial inorganic carbonate deposits are thus removed from water conduit systems while dangerous conditions due to excessive generation of carbon dioxide gas are avoided.

Controlled carbonate removal from water conduit systems

A method of cleaning and maintaining potable water distribution systems which have reduced flow due to an increase of water scale deposits, sediment, and the like on the inside surface of the pipe is disclosed. An aqueous acidic cleaning solution is introduced and circulated through the pipe to be treated for a sufficient time to dissolve and loosen the scale and sediment, and the spent solution containing dissolved or suspended scale and sediment is flushed from the pipe to provide a cleaned pipe with improved water flow. It is also desirable to flush the water distribution pipe system with high pressure water after the treatment to remove loosened scale and sediment that was not removed during the circulation and flushing of the treating solution.

Method of cleaning and maintaining potable water distribution pipe

A method of and system for removing blockage from pipes in vacuum waste systems in which fouled pipes in the existing vacuum waste system are configured into a closed loop. A cleaning solution is added to the loop. The cleaning solution is recirculated through the loop by pumping it to the ends of the fouled pipes and drawing it through the fouled pipes using the existing system vacuum equipment. The vacuum waste system may remain operational during cleaning.
