The present invention provides a broad-spectrum scale inhibitor formulation for the
petrochemical industry. The invention consists of a scale inhibitor based on sulfonated polycarboxylate mixed with saturated
sodium brine with a density of 1.20 g / cm³, which effectively prevents the deposition of CaCO₃, CaSO₄, BaSO₄,
iron oxide (Fe₂O₃), and other types of scale such as FeCO₃, iron sulfides (FeS, FeS₂), silica, and clays under a wide variety of operating conditions. The functions demonstrated by the invention include at least inhibiting the deposition of CaCO₃, CaSO₄, BaSO₄,
iron oxide (Fe₂O₃), and other scales such as FeCO₃ and iron sulfides (FeS, FeS₂), dispersing iron oxides and silica, and exhibiting
high effectiveness in
sludge and clay control.Thus, the advantages of the present invention are that it is thermally stable at 200 °C, allows for the
effective treatment of different types of scale with the same product, has excellent tolerance to brines with
high calcium content, is biodegradable, has lower deferred production losses due to continuous cleaning, and allows for the assurance of production for a longer time, due to the preventive effects.
