Case Study: Well Rehabilitation Using SeaQuest
Background:
A National Water Company experienced significant reductions in well productivity due to mineral incrustation, biofilm plugging, and corrosion, leading to decreased water yield and increased energy costs for pumping.
Objective:
To restore well functionality and improve water flow, use SeaQuest, a chemical-free, nontoxic treatment solution.
Methodology:
- Assessment: A thorough well inspection was conducted to identify the specific issues affecting productivity. taking water samples to the lab and learning the well size and its current condition.
- Chemical Treatment: SeaQuest was applied to target and dissolve cationic minerals and other blockages. Hypochlorite was added to address organic material.
3. Circulation and Soaking: The well was surged and soaked to ensure the chemical solution reached all affected areas.
- Flushing: The well was flushed to remove dislodged materials and contaminants.
Results:
Significantly Improved Yield: The well’s water yield increased by 220%, restoring it to its near-original capacity, and some of it was even better than its original capacity.
Energy Efficiency: The electricity consumption for the well pump decreased by 30% due to improved flow and reduced resistance.
Cost Savings: saving expenses on energy and potential well replacement.
Conclusion:
SeaQuest proved to be an effective solution for well rehabilitation, offering a rapid and cost-efficient method to restore productivity and reduce operational costs.
Further Considerations:
Routine maintenance and periodic assessments are recommended to sustain well-being and prevent future issues. Regular chemical treatments can extend the life of the well and maintain optimal water quality and flow.
