<p>Alkaline earth metal scales, particularly barium sulfate and strontium sulfate, and silica-based scales, particularly potassium fluorosilicate, are removed from industrial processing equipment, tubular goods, and other scaled materials with a composition comprising sufficient potassium base to provide an overall system pH of between about 12.0 to about 14.0, a polyaminocarboxylic acid, preferably EDTA, a hydroxycarboxylic acid synergist, a pH buffering agent, a wetting agent, and optionally a sodium base.</p> |
