BLUFLOC AA6518 Anionic PAM for Oil Drilling Wastewater Clarification and Drilling Fluid Performance Improvement
Product Overview
BLUFLOC AA6518 Anionic PAM is a high performance anionic polyacrylamide powder designed for oilfield drilling wastewater treatment and drilling fluid performance support. It is suitable for applications where fine suspended solids, drilling mud particles, clay, silt and inorganic solids need to be flocculated and settled more efficiently.
During oil drilling operations, large amounts of drilling wastewater and mud water may be generated from mud circulation, solids control, drilling fluid recovery, equipment cleaning and waste mud treatment. These waters often contain fine particles, suspended solids, clay, bentonite, drilling additives and dispersed mud solids. Without proper treatment, clarification becomes slow, water reuse becomes difficult and sludge separation becomes unstable.
BLUFLOC AA6518 Anionic PAM helps improve floc formation, accelerate sedimentation and support clearer supernatant in oilfield wastewater clarification systems. It can also be used as a drilling fluid performance support polymer where viscosity, suspension, lubrication and mud stability need improvement.

Main Applications in Oilfield
AA6518 is used to clarify wastewater generated from oil drilling operations. It helps gather fine suspended particles into larger flocs, allowing them to settle faster and improving the clarity of the treated water.
In drilling mud water treatment, AA6518 can help separate dispersed mud solids from water. This supports water recovery, mud system management and easier downstream treatment.
Fine drilling solids are often difficult to settle naturally. AA6518 improves flocculation and sedimentation, helping reduce turbidity and suspended solids in mud water.
AA6518 can be used in settling tanks, clarification systems, sludge thickening units and other solid liquid separation processes in oilfield wastewater treatment.
Besides wastewater clarification, AA6518 can also support water based drilling fluid performance. It may help improve viscosity, suspension, mud stability and rheological control depending on the formulation.
Drilling wastewater often contains cuttings fines, clay particles and dispersed solids. AA6518 helps improve aggregation of these fine particles, making separation easier.
By improving clarification and sedimentation, AA6518 can support water recovery in oilfield operations where treated water needs to be reused or sent for further treatment.
Why AA6518 Is Suitable for Oil Drilling Wastewater
Oil drilling wastewater usually contains a high level of suspended solids and fine mud particles. These particles may remain dispersed in water for a long time and make clarification difficult.
BLUFLOC AA6518 Anionic PAM has strong flocculation performance for inorganic suspended solids, mud particles and fine mineral solids. After proper dissolution, it forms a polymer solution that bridges small particles together and creates larger flocs. These flocs settle faster and help improve water clarity.
This makes AA6518 suitable for oilfield mud water clarification, drilling wastewater pre treatment, sludge thickening and selected drilling fluid support applications.
Working Mechanism
AA6518 works mainly through polymer bridging and flocculation.
After the powder is fully dissolved in water, the polymer chains can connect fine suspended particles and form larger flocs. These flocs are easier to settle or separate from the water phase.
In drilling wastewater treatment, this helps reduce turbidity, improve settling speed and support better solid liquid separation.
In drilling fluid systems, the polymer structure may also help improve viscosity, suspension and mud stability depending on the system design.
Typical Problems This Product Can Help Improve
- Drilling wastewater remains turbid after settling
- Fine mud particles are difficult to separate
- Suspended solids are too high in mud water
- Clarification speed is too slow
- Sludge settling is loose or unstable
- Water recovery from drilling mud is difficult
- Drilling fluid performance becomes unstable
- Mud system needs better suspension and rheology support
- Oilfield wastewater treatment needs a low dosage polymer flocculant
Recommended Treatment Process
For oil drilling wastewater clarification, the common process can be adjusted according to water quality:
The exact process should be confirmed by jar test or field trial.
Recommended Solution Preparation
- Recommended dissolving concentration is 0.1 to 0.5 percent.
- Add AA6518 powder slowly and evenly into clean water.
- Keep continuous agitation during powder addition.
- Recommended agitation speed is 200 to 400 rpm.
- Normal dissolving time is about 1 hour.
- Avoid adding the powder too quickly because lumping may occur.
- Avoid excessive high speed agitation because it may damage the polymer molecular chains.
- Use the fully dissolved polymer solution for dosing.
- Incomplete dissolution may reduce flocculation performance.
General Dosing Guidance
The actual dosage depends on wastewater turbidity, suspended solids concentration, drilling mud composition, salinity, temperature, pH, oil content and treatment target.
For drilling wastewater clarification, laboratory jar testing is recommended before large scale dosing.
For drilling fluid performance improvement, compatibility testing with the existing mud formulation is recommended.
