Mathematical models for predicting the minimum effective dosage for scale inhibitors have been used successfully to optimize treatment levels in field applications. The models were developed in the format of minimum effective dosage as a function of water chemistry, temperature and time. This paper describes the use of laboratory and field data to develop the models.
