Abstract:When a conventional aqueous squeeze treatment is not suitable for preventing scale formation, a non-aqueous treatment may be applied. Generally, this type of treatments includes a non-aqueous phase and can be divided into different types based on the delivery system. Despite the name, most non-aqueous treatments still contain some water, due to the scale inhibitor hydrophilic nature; it only truly dissolves in water.The main purposes of this paper are, firstly to model a series of polymer non-aqueous scale inh… Show more
