“…Permeability reduction of porous media due to formation and deposition of these scales has been studied for many years. Several experimental studies were conducted using either pack of glass beads/sands (Read and Ringen, 1982;Wat et al, 1992;Moghadasi et al, 2002Moghadasi et al, , 2004Tahmasebi et al, 2007) or core plugs (McElhiney et al, 2001;Abu-Khamsin and Ahmad, 2005;BinMerdhah et al, 2010;Mahmoud, and Gadallah, 2013) to determine the scaling tendency and potential of BaSO 4 and CaSO 4 precipitation. Most of these studies focused on single scale deposition.…”
