Abstract: A method for treating hydrocarbon-servicing fluid is provided for reducing contaminants, especially bacteria, volatile and semi-volatile organics, in hydrocarbon-servicing fluids by microwaving and irradiating the fluid with ultraviolet light, with or without use of catalyst. The treated fluid can be used in upstream and downstream hydrocarbon processing operations.
