PROCEDIMIENTO PARA EVALUAR ANTIINCRUSTANTES PARA PROCEDIMIENTOS DE DESALINIZACION

摘要

Incrustations reduce the yield in desalination methods: they reduce the productivity, increase the costs, and generate poor-quality water. The kinetics of the formation of incrustations when anti-incruster agents are introduced into the system is not easily comprehensible and the prediction may be frequently erroneous if the anti-incruster agent is not analysed in the correct manner. The invention relates to a method for evaluating anti-incruster agents, comprising the following steps: a) preparation of substitute ocean water (SOW) with a concentration of between 1 and 10; b) addition of the anti-incruster agent to be evaluated; and c) measurement of the turbidity over time.
