Potassium Formate Liquid in Assam
Potassium Formate Liquid ($HCOOK_{aq}$) is a high-performance heat transfer fluid valued for its low viscosity and superior thermal conductivity compared to traditional glycols. In the Assam petroleum sector, it is utilized as a "solids-free" brine that minimizes formation damage in sensitive sandstone reservoirs, typical of the Upper Assam and Surma Basin formations. Scientifically, its non-corrosive nature protects expensive stainless steel and copper alloys, making it indispensable for hydroelectric cooling systems and large-scale industrial heat exchangers. Because it is fully biodegradable and has low toxicity, it is the safest choice for operations in Assam’s protected forest regions and riverine environments, offering a sustainable alternative for hydrostatic testing and gas hydrate inhibition in the North-East's heavy industry.

Uses:
1. As an excellent drilling fluid, completion fluid, and workover fluid, it is widely used in the oilfield industry.
2.In the snow melting agent industry, the acetic acid smell in the air is too strong after the snow melting of the additive acetate and it causes a certain degree of corrosion on the ground, etc., and is eliminated. Potassium formate not only has good snow melting performance but also overcomes the acetic acid All the drawbacks of salt are praised by citizens and environmental personnel;
3. In the leather industry, it is used as a camouflage acid in the chrome tanning method;
4. In the printing and dyeing industry, it is used as a reducing agent;
5. It can also be used as a cement slurry. Strong agent, and used in mining, electroplating and foliar fertilizer for crops and other industries.
