Comparative Performance of Natural Hybrid and Synthetic Polymers Containing Different Functional Groups as Strontium Sulfate Scale Inhibitors

The formation of scale deposits is a serious problem in many industrial applications including boiler cooling desalination geothermal oil and gas production. Scales typically encountered are sulfates carbonates and phosphates of barium strontium calcium and zinc. Over the years various additives have been developed to control precipitation of scale forming salts.This study is focused on the evaluation of natural hybrid and synthetic polymers containing a variety of different functional groups as inhibitors for strontium sulfate scale. Results reveal that various factors i.e. molecular weight type and amount of comonomer ionic charge of functional group hydrophobicity polymerization solvent etc. contribute to the performance of polymer as strontium sulfate scale inhibitors. Comparative performance of non-polymeric inhibitors will be presented.
