Scale inhibitors
A scale inhibitor is a device or chemical treatment that prevents or reduces the formation of scale and other sparingly soluble compounds in fluid flow systems. These compounds can affect the heat transfer, load-bearing capacity and production efficiency of the system A scale inhibitor works by blocking the active crystal growth sites of the precipitates.
APPLICATION & USAGE
- Scale inhibitors can prevent scale buildup that can damage formations and clog production tubes, causing flow control problems.
- A limescale preventer is a device designed to reduce the amount of limescale that forms in hard water areas.
- Scale inhibitors are specialty chemicals that are added to oil production systems to delay, reduce and/or prevent scale deposition.
