Calcium carbonate scale formation. This paper focuses on the complex problem of calcium carbonate scale formation on heated surfaces and the possibilities of controlling or reducing this problem. The development of scale is a multistage process and is affected by a number of factors these include supersaturation pH temperature and flow velocity. Calcium carbonate deposition can be ameliorated by chemical.
The induction period varied from 17 min to 34 min which means that the scale starts forming 17 min to 34 min after the mixing of the solution. Higher flow rates resulted in more calcium carbonate scale mass which indicate that the fluid flow enhances the scale formation. Similarly increasing the temperature of the solution 25 30 and 40 o C resulted in the increase of the scale mass.
Overall higher malic acid concentrations resulted in longer induction time and less scale. Deposition of inorganic salts such as calcium carbonate CaCO 3 can cause formation damage and production equipment failure during the development of a reservoir. In case of waterflooding complex geochemical processes between the injection water formation water and rock occur and the concentration of ions increases.
Major contribution of scale control concentrates on. In this study the predictions and probabilities of calcium carbonate scale formation and corrosion occurrence inside Gumry Field Process F acilities GFPF and produced w ater injecti on process un. The formation or the dissolution of calcium carbonate scale is dependent upon the concentrations of species existing water the temperature and ionic strength 11.
Mitigation of scale. In this study the predictions and probabilities of calcium carbonate scale formation and corrosion occurrence inside Gumry Field Process Facilities GFPF and produced water injection process units PWTP was carried out. This was done calculating the Langelier Saturation Index LSI Ryznar Stability Index RSI Puckorius Scaling Index PSI.

In the petroleum industry oil and wate. Calcium carbonate scale is one of the most common inorganic scales which deposits on the surface of oil and gas production facilities. This causes significant loss of production and ultimately leads to shut down of production lines if not properly managed.
There has been a great amount of research on calcium carbonate deposition. ASM International is the worlds largest association of materials engineers and scientists. We are dedicated to informing educating and connecting the materials community to solve problems and stimulate innovation around the world.
Calcium carbonate scaling is a function of pH temperature T ionic strength of the solution I calcium cation and bicarbonate anion concentrations Chilingar et al. Table 1 presents factors for conversion of ion concentration mgL or meqL to I Chilingar et al. The chemistry of calcium carbonate deposition can.
In general calcium carbonate scale occurs when hard water meets high alkalinity and warm temperature which allows for the dissolved minerals to leave their dissolved state and re-solidify. In other words when the pH and temperature are high enough hard waters minerals can harden and attach to surfaces like metal pipes tile gunite concrete etc. Once minerals have begun to attach and re-solidify the buildup begins.
Water tends to become scale. Calcium Carbonate Scale Formation. Calcium Carbonate Scale Formation.
One of the great myths of the water treatment industry is that calcium carbonate scale forms because the compound is inversely soluble. As the water becomes hotter the compound becomes less soluble. The plain fact is that calcium carbonate is basically insoluble at.
The formation of calcium carbonate CaCO 3 ie. Scale in potable water systems has long been a concern in water treatment and distribution. A literature review reveals that CaCO 3 scaling issues are re-emerging due to climate change temperature increases in hot water systems and lower use of scaling and corrosion inhibitors.
Moreover we have gathered insights that suggest CaCO. In the present work the effect of acrylic acid copolymers in the formation of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate scale deposits on heated surfaces was studied. The experiments were done in a small heat exchanger and the effectiveness of acrylic acid copolymers was tested for 50 hours.
The samples results for RSI index and found that all samples under formation of heavy calcium carbonate scale. Special excel computer program was designed to calculate the LSI RSI PSI. The scale was cleaned and removed by 10 diluted hydrochloric acid and commercial scale inhibitor.
A fundamental study of scale formation of calcium carbonate CaCO 3 for producing oil wells has been carried out. This article presents the study of the prediction of salt deposition in two different synthetic formation waters and investigates the effects of temperature and pressure on calcium carbonate precipitation. The dependence of the induction period of the precipitation of calcium.
