The persistence of biocides formulated in glutaraldehyde and acrolein were tested in different produced water environments using a colorimetric general aldehyde detection method based on metaphenylenediamine. The persistence of the biocides in each environment tested was shown to be unique, but repeatable. The laboratory results were validated through comparisons to actual field data.
