TUNED to your operational needs
What differentiates an Alpha? Every FR is custom-designed to match the exact water chemistry, brine level, and operational variables of the jobsite.

- Reduce pump strain, chemical volume, and non-productive time (NPT).
- Faster stage completion and better overall asset efficiency.
- TUNED™ design model ensures optimal compatibility and performance.
Sub-Product Breakdown
| Product | type | water compatibility | key benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alpha FR 1 | High-concentrate Anionic HVFR Slurry | Fresh to mildly briny | Faster stage completion, suitable for challenging wells, reduces total well cost (TCO) |
| Alpha FR 2 | Anionic HVFR Slurry | Fresh to moderately brine | Faster stage completion, optimized for cost-sensitive operations |
| Alpha FR 3T | High-concentrate Anionic HVFR Slurry | Fresh to high brine | Faster stage completion, reliable in high-salinity, reduces TCO |
| Alpha FR 4 | Anionic HVFR Slurry | Fresh to high brine | Faster stage completion, targeted for line-item cost savings |
| Alpha FR 6T | Ultra-concentrate HVFR Slurry | Fresh to high brine | Dry FR applications, high reliability, reduces NPT and stage TCO |
| Alpha FR 7A | Ultra-concentrate Anionic Slurry | Fresh to high brine | Dry FR applications, high reliability, optimized for complex well designs |
| Alpha FR 809C | High-concentrate Cationic Slurry | Mild to heavy briny | Performs under fluctuating oxidizer loads, ideal for advanced completion designs |

Experimental Conditions
Viscosity measurements measured at 2 gpt in municipal tap water using a Fann-35 style viscometer with an R1B1 bob at 300 sec⁻¹.
Determined through degradative shear sweep analysis on a 40’ flow loop with a 5 gallon reservoir using water containing 5% CaCl₂ to represent general hardness and 95% NaCl to represent electrostatic contributions dissolved to the total ppm range at either 0.5 or 0.75 gpt, as appropriate for the product and water.
*Experimental Products: tested >250k ppm
Results may vary with complex produced waters
