Cleansorb is a privately owned biotechnology company
founded in
1994 by Dr. Ralph Harris and Dr. Ian McKay
who have complementary
backgrounds in industrial microbiology and biochemistry (biotechnology). The company
was established to progress their award winning ideas on novel products and technologies for the
upstream oil and gas industry based on the use of enzymes, catalysts and novel materials.
The
company develops, patents and commercialises novel
products and processes.
These technologies are
used to assist upstream oil and gas
production operations world-wide.
Cleansorb's
Arcasolve™
family of downhole acidizing fluids offers unique advantages
arising from the fact that acid is generated in-situ after the treatment
fluid is placed. Excellent zonal coverage can be achieved. Polymer
breakers can be incorporated into Arcasolve™formulations
to allow a dual attack on carbonate-polymer containing filter cakes.
Arcasolve™
is particularly suited to the cleanup of filter cake in long openhole wells.
Arcasolve™
is used by independent, state and major international operating companies in
North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Cleansorb
has built its success on excellent products, which are supported by extensive
scientific and technical know-how, applications expertise and the substantial
accumulated experience of its oilfield engineers and related industry
associates.
As each situation requires, Cleansorb
works either directly with oil and gas operating companies or through our
sales and
marketing partners,
including agents, distributors and licensees.
The company has been based in Guildford, U.K. since 2000.
It continues to develop and expand its patented technology base.
New
products resulting from our development projects are scheduled to reach the market
during 2007-2009. Cleansorb is also willing to consider
collaboration with suitable partners on new projects.
