One of the critical approaches for scale control is the proper selection and use of scale inhibitors.
Laboratory tests help to select the appropriate scale inhibitor with the most common testing methods,
including static bottle test and dynamic scaling loop test. Recently, Kinetic Turbidity Test (KTT) has
gained increased recognition as a new testing method for scale inhibitor evaluation due to short testing
time, simple sample preparation, and good reproducibility. There has been a good deal of research and
studies on KTT as a technique for multifunctional scales, including calcium carbonate and barium
sulfate (especially low scaling brines), halite and silicates. In addition, KTT can examine dispersant
effects of polymers and surfactants on scale and other solids and can work under anaerobic conditions
to give mechanistic understanding in the presence of iron. This paper discusses an alternative and
efficient scale inhibitor testing method and gives insight for scale treatment chemistry and dosage by
comparing and contrasting the different evaluation methods for scale inhibitors.
