[0046] A method for using a rapid fouling evaluation device, comprising the following steps:
[0047] S1. Connect the on-site pipeline to the sample inlet, and then pump the sample liquid into the filtering device through a water pump and a solenoid valve;
[0048] Send a control instruction to the fouling monitoring module remotely or locally to start the measurement, collect the measurement data of the fouling monitoring probe, and perform analysis;
[0049] The measurement data is directly displayed on the touch screen on the cabinet, or transferred to a laptop or computer through the communication interface on the cabinet for data reading and analysis;
[0050] The fouling monitoring probe promotes the growth of the fouling layer. When the surfaces of the fouling indicating electrode and the concave annular fouling induction electrode are covered by the fouling layer, the degree of surface fouling can be indicated by measuring the electrochemical impedance between the fouling indicating electrode and the stainless steel counter electrode;
[0051] S2. Measure the resistance value of the fouling layer by the electrochemical impedance method. Through the difference impedance between the high-frequency Z H and the medium-frequency impedance Z m , the fouling layer resistance R is obtained;
[0052] R = (Z H - Z m ) / 2
[0053] Under cathodic polarization, alkalization occurs on the surface of the fouling induction electrode, and the following reaction occurs:
[0054]
[0055]
[0056] Thus, a fouling layer is formed on the surfaces of the concave annular fouling induction electrode and the needle-shaped fouling indicating electrode. Assuming that the fouling layer on the surface of the indicating electrode grows uniformly, the resistance of the fouling per unit area is R', the area of the fouling on the metal surface is S, and the total resistance value of the fouling is R. Then, the calculation formula for the total resistance value R is as follows:
[0057] R = R'S
[0058] Within a short period of time t, the area of the fouling on the metal surface is S t , and the total resistance value of the fouling is R t ; then, within a short period of time t, the calculation formula for the total resistance value R t is as follows:
[0059] R t = R'S t
[0060] As time goes by, the fouling will cover the metal surface completely. At this time, the area of the fouling is S∞ , the total resistance value of the scale is R ∞ , then, under a relatively long time, the total resistance value R of the scale ∞ is calculated as follows:
[0061] R ∞ = R’S ∞
[0062] The fouling index α is the coverage rate of the scale on the metal surface and can be calculated through resistance. The specific formula is as follows:
[0063]
[0064] Furthermore, use step S3 to replace step S2,
[0065] S3. It can be known from the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy that the high-frequency region corresponds to the scale layer grown on the surface of the fouling monitoring probe, and the impedance in the low-frequency region corresponds to the charge transfer resistance; therefore, the thickness of the scale layer can be measured by the resistance value in the high-frequency region;
[0066] Select the impedance value at the characteristic frequency of 117 Hz in the high-frequency region for calculation;
[0067] R 0 is the impedance modulus value at 117 Hz under the blank condition on the probe surface (no scale), R t is the impedance modulus value at 117 Hz for the test resistivity after the probe surface reacts for 2 h, R ∞ is the impedance modulus value at 117 Hz after the probe reacts for 2 days (complete fouling); the calculation formula for the fouling index α of the fouling monitoring sensor is as follows:
[0068]
[0069] The present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0070] 1. Adopt cathodic polarization to promote the growth of the scale layer by alkalizing the surface of the fouling induction electrode, so that the scale layer fills the gap between the indicating electrode and the induction electrode, and then evaluate the surface structure density through the impedance value at 117 Hz between the indicating electrode and the counter electrode;
[0071] 2. This device can be directly connected to the oilfield field process to directly measure the fouling index of the medium in the pipeline, avoiding the deviation of the test results caused by the leakage of oxygen exposure and CO 2 , H 2 S during the process of sampling to the laboratory.

[0102] Embodiment 3:
[0103] Based on Embodiment 1 or 2, this embodiment provides a method for using a scaling rapid evaluation device, including the following steps:
[0104] S1. Connect the on-site pipeline to the sampling port, and then pump the sample liquid into the filtering device 24 through the water pump 20 and the electromagnetic valve 19;
[0105] Send a control instruction to the scaling monitoring module remotely or locally to start measurement, collect the measurement data of the scaling monitoring probe, and perform analysis;
[0106] The measurement data is directly displayed on the touch screen on the cabinet, or transferred to a laptop or computer through the RS485 communication interface 7 on the cabinet for data reading and analysis;
[0107] The scaling monitoring probe promotes the growth of the scale layer. When the surfaces of the scaling indicating electrode and the concave annular scaling induction electrode are covered by the scale layer, the degree of surface structure can be indicated by measuring the electrochemical impedance between the scaling indicating electrode and the stainless steel counter electrode;
[0108] S2. Measure the scale layer resistance value by the electrochemical impedance method, mainly through the difference impedance between the high-frequency Z H (such as 10KHz) and the intermediate-frequency impedance Z m to obtain the scale layer resistance R;
[0109] R = (Z H - Z m ) / 2
[0110] Under cathodic polarization, alkalization appears on the surface of the scaling induction electrode, and the following reaction occurs:
[0111]
[0112]
[0113] Thus, a scale layer is formed on the surface of the concave ring scale-induced electrode and the needle-shaped scale-indicating electrode. Assuming that the scale layer on the surface of the indicating electrode grows uniformly, the resistance of the scale per unit area is R', the area of the scale on the metal surface is S, and the total resistance of the scale is R. Then, the calculation formula for the total resistance R is as follows:
[0114] R = R'S
[0115] Within a short period of time t, the area of the scale on the metal surface is S t , and the total resistance of the scale is R t ; then, within a short period of time t, the total resistance R t The calculation formula is as follows:
[0116] R t = R'S t
[0117] As time goes by, the scale will cover the metal surface. At this time, the area of the scale is S ∞ , and the total resistance of the scale is R ∞ , then, under a longer time, the total resistance R of the scale ∞ The calculation formula is as follows:
[0118] R ∞ = R'S ∞
[0119] The scaling index α is the coverage rate of the scale on the metal surface and can be calculated through resistance. The specific formula is as follows:
[0120]
[0121] Replace step S2 with step S3
[0122] S3. It can be known from the electrochemical impedance spectrum that the high-frequency region corresponds to the scale layer growing on the surface of the scaling monitoring probe, and the impedance in the low-frequency region corresponds to the charge transfer resistance. Therefore, the thickness of the scale layer can be measured by the resistance value in the high-frequency region;
[0123] For the convenience of calculation, the impedance value at the characteristic frequency of 117 Hz in the high-frequency region is selected for calculation;
[0124] R 0 is the impedance modulus value at 117 Hz under the blank condition on the surface of the probe (no scale on the surface), R t is the impedance modulus value at 117 Hz when the probe reacts for 2 h (testing the resistivity), R ∞ is the impedance modulus value at 117 Hz when the probe reacts for 2 days (complete scaling); the calculation formula for the scaling index α of the scaling monitoring sensor is as follows:
[0125]
