摘要

Abstract Scaling in the oil and gas industry is a common problem that increases expenses and reduces production rates. Traditional methods of scale prevention include chemical treatments that can be expensive and have environmental implications. Acoustic anti-scaling technology is an alternative method that has gained attention in recent years. This paper provides an overview of acoustic anti-scaling technology, including its principles, applications, and limitations. The paper concludes by discussing the potential for further research and developments in this area. This review includes various laboratory studies that evaluate the potential of using acoustic anti-scaling technology in scale removal applications. A comprehensive literature review was conducted. Acoustic anti-scaling technology was also compared to mechanical and chemical scale treatment solutions currently used by the industry. Acoustic anti-scaling involves the use of ultrasonic waves to disrupt the formation of mineral scale deposits. The ultrasonic waves create high-frequency vibrations that prevent mineral particles from attaching to surfaces and forming a solid scale layer. Typically, the frequencies used for anti-scaling are in the range of 20 kHz to 100 kHz, although some systems may use higher or lower frequencies depending on the specific equipment, composition of the fluids and the desired level of scale prevention. Acoustic anti-scaling technology has been shown to be effective in reducing scaling in various industrial systems, including desalination plants and cooling tower systems. For years, chemical and mechanical treatments have been implemented effectively to achieve scale removal and prevention. Water consumption, cost and environmental concerns have been associated with these methods. The review also highlights some limitations of acoustic anti-scaling technology. The technology is most effective in preventing the formation of soft scale, such as calcium carbonate. However, it may not be as effective in preventing hard-scale formation, such as barium sulfate. The effectiveness of the technology may also be limited by factors such as water chemistry, flow rate, and temperature. Therefore, further research is needed to optimize the technology's performance under various conditions. The paper provides novel information by analyzing the available literature on traditional scaling prevention methods and acoustic anti-scaling technology, and identifying the current state of research in this field. It also highlights the potential of acoustic anti-scaling technology as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods of scaling prevention in the oil and gas industry.
