Advancements in Scaling Calculations: An In-Depth Look at Antiscalant Dosing for Stressed Waters and High Recovery Systems

The results of extensive laboratory studies are discussed to demonstrate novel approaches and techniques that confirm not all chemistries for preventing scale are the same. Laboratory studies will include looking at various chemistries commonly used for reverse osmosis (RO) antiscalants. Field data will also be reviewed, demonstrating the importance of proper scaling calculations and antiscalant dosing for optimal system performance, and to keep downstream discharge lines free of scale as well.
