The current trend in the steam generating and process industries is towards maximum water reuse in order to minimize plant effluent streams and costly effluent treatment. More cost-effective treatments can be developed to prevent fouling by scale forming salts such as calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate by defining antiscalant performance as a function of water quality. To this end, Cyanamid has continued earlier studies(2,3) using a Dynamic Scale Tester (DST) to define antiscalant performance. Experience has taught that the data from these tests can be used for recommending treatment levels for "real-world" systems.
