[1] They play a crucial role in preventing scale formation, thus improving the efficiency and longevity of industrial equipment and processes.
[3] Industrial cooling water systems are susceptible to scale formation due to high temperatures and concentrations of dissolved minerals.
[9] Antiscalants help mitigate scale deposition in cooling towers, heat exchangers, and condensers, preserving their efficiency and reducing the need for maintenance.
Antiscalants are used in mining operations and oil & gas production to prevent scale deposition in pipelines, drilling equipment, and processing facilities.
Preventing the formation of scale from blocking or hindering fluid flow through pipelines, valves, and pumps used in oil production and processing.
Oilfield scaling is the precipitation and accumulation of insoluble crystals (salts) from a mixture of incompatible aqueous phases in oil processing systems.
