Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (LV) - Deva CMC (LV)
Description
Deva CMS-LV is a Carboxy Methyl Cellulose ( C.M.C.) of low viscosity which adheres to the OCMA DFCP-2 Specifications. It is used as a fluid loss reducer in fresh, sea and saturated salt water based drilling fluids.
Application
Deva CMS-LV is used in various types of drilling fluids ranging from fresh water to saturated salt water. It is particularly used when borehole conditions or excessive reservoir pressures require higher mud weights; thus a low viscosity product is highly recommended for the control of the fluid loss.
In usual conditions Deva CMC-LV has no microbial susceptibility.
Deva CMS-LV can be used in a wide pH range (5-12). The product flows easily from the bags and if carefully added through the hopper, dissolves quickly in the drilling fluid without lumping.
Temperature
Deva CMS-LV solutions are highly heat resistant. The product has a peak operating temperature higher (300°F- 150°C) than other products such as Carboxy Methyl Starch (CMS) and Guar Gum. In the presence of strong alkali, oxygen & some metail ions, this value is reduced.
Performance
Deva CMS-LV meets the OCMA DECP-2 Specifications.

Treatment
The amount of DEVA CMC-LV required depends on the type and the characteristics of the drilling fluid. In order to obtain 5-10ml. of fluid loss, typical concentration is as follows.
| ppb. | Kg/m³ | |
|---|---|---|
| In fresh water muds | 1-3 | 2.85 – 8.56 |
| In sea water muds | 2-5 | 5.71- 14.27 |
| In saturated salt water muds | 4-6 | 11.41-17.12 |
The product should be added slowly through a mixing hopper at a rate of 20 min/sk.
Typical Properties
| Appearance | Whitish free flowing powder |
| Moisture | max.6% |
| D.S. | 0.8-0.9 |
| pH2% solution | 9-11 |
