We founded Reaction35 to develop and implement processes to recover and reuse valuable components found in waste streams arising through chemical production. By reusing these components, Reaction35’s processes increase the sustainability of chemical production and reduce the volume and hazardousness of waste stream residuals. We aim to be the leading provider of technology that improves the cost-effectiveness, safety, and sustainability of chemical production and use. We are developing strong partnerships across the industry, delivering value-adding solutions so partners can more effectively manage waste streams. When our efforts succeed, we look to share in the value our solutions create for partners.

Reaction35 understands that each waste stream has unique characteristics and each partner has unique objectives. Our dedicated team works hard to understand the characteristics of the waste stream and the objectives of the generating company to maximize the effectiveness of the processes we develop.

Reaction35 is located in Santa Barbara, California, and has established a successful track record for solving challenging problems throughout the fine and specialty chemical industries.

At present, Reaction35 is developing sustainability-enhancing applications in several different industries. And, because our processes are designed to seamlessly integrate into existing infrastructure, Reaction35 can generate a strong competitive advantage for our customers.

Reaction35 often finds that elements of a process developed for a specific waste stream have utility for other waste streams. The process that Reaction35 has developed for increasing the sustainability and circularity of completion fluids employed by the oil industry provides an example:

Reaction35 has developed technology that recovers bromide and other components from waste fluids generated in the oil well completion process. The recovered bromide is then used to produce virgin Clear Brine Fluids that meet the specifications required for the completion process.

Once an oil well is drilled, it is critical that drilling mud, drill cuttings, and other contaminants be removed from the wellbore lest they interfere with oil and gas production. Removing these contaminants is accomplished by circulating high-density bromide-based brines known as Clear Brine Fluids in the industry through the wellbore. Following use, these contaminant-laden completion fluids are sent for disposal, generating costs for both disposal and replacement of the lost brine.

Reaction35 developed a process to recover bromide from waste completion fluids. Reaction35’s BRT Process recovers bromide as high-purity hydrobromic acid, which is then used to produce Clear Brine Fluids. Advantages of the BRT Process include:
