Scales are salts formations that have limited solubility and are partially insoluble in fluids. These salts get deposited on surfaces and precipitates in either soluble or insoluble form. Scales are usually caused by impurities being precipitated out of the fluids directly on surfaces or by suspension of particles in fluid that settles out on surfaces, becoming hard and adherent. Scale formations lead to inefficiency, increase in operation & maintenance cost, and loss of revenue due to downtime and outages. Anti-scaling chemicals are surface active materials that dislodges scaling salts by interfering the precipitation reactions. Anti-scaling chemicals have the property to distort crystal shapes of scaling salts resulting in soft non adherent scales. Anti-scaling chemicals adsorb crystals or colloidal particles and impart a high anionic charge that tends to prevent crystal formation. These chemicals are used in various industries for membrane & thermal desalination, municipal...
