Research on Scaling of Wastewater Transportation Pipes: A Review

Abstract

The pipes are prone to scaling and fouling during collection and transportation, mainly due to the complex and variable composition of industrial wastewater. It causes failure of the transmission system, shortens the life of the pipe, increases the operation cost, and poses potential risks to the ecological environment as well as human health. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to sort out the research progress on the factors influencing the scaling of wastewater transport pipes and the mechanism of action. To suggest scientific scale inhibition for wastewater transport pipes. The purpose of this paper is to ensure the safety stability along with the effectiveness of the transport pipeline and treatment structures. In addition to provide a reference for future research directions.
