TP19-20: Tailoring Scale Prediction Models to a Specific Application: Cooling Water

Mineral scale formation is a problem across many industries and in diverse applications and equipment. Each application may have specific characteristics that must be considered if a modelling system is to be reasonably accurate. The modelling of cooling water and oil field production chemistry have been studied extensively since the 1970’s and state-of-the-art physical chemistry models developed to simulate them with acceptable accuracy, even under extreme conditions.
