Comprehensive Scale Analysis Services
Benchmark Lab provides advanced scale analysis services, catering to the critical needs of the oil and gas industry, water treatment facilities, and industrial processes where scale formation can significantly impact efficiency and operational costs. Our state-of-the-art laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge technology and methodologies, enabling us to conduct a wide range of tests from water analysis and scale tendency assessment modeling to scale inhibitor testing and scale onset pressure temperature determination.
Water Analysis: Our comprehensive water analysis service is the cornerstone of scale management, identifying the concentrations of scaling ions such as calcium, magnesium, barium, and sulfate. This analysis is crucial for understanding the potential for scale formation in industrial and natural water systems.
Scale Tendency Assessment Modeling: Utilizing advanced software and analytical techniques, we offer scale tendency assessment modeling to predict the likelihood and severity of scale formation under various operational conditions. This predictive tool is invaluable for planning scale management strategies and optimizing chemical treatment programs.
Scale Inhibitor Testing Using Bottle Test: Our laboratory performs scale inhibitor testing using the bottle test method to evaluate the effectiveness of various chemical inhibitors in preventing scale deposition. This test simulates static conditions, providing essential data on inhibitor performance and optimal dosing rates.
Scale Inhibitor Test Using Dynamic Scale Flow Loop: For a more comprehensive assessment of scale inhibitor efficacy, we conduct tests using a dynamic scale flow loop. This method simulates real-world flow conditions, allowing us to analyze the performance of scale inhibitors under conditions that closely mimic those found in pipelines and processing equipment.
Scale Onset Pressure Temperature Using Dynamic Flow Loop: Our cutting-edge dynamic flow loop is also employed to determine the scale onset pressure and temperature (SOPT). This test identifies the conditions under which scale begins to form, providing critical information for designing effective scale management and inhibition strategies.
