The present invention relates to a composition comprising functionalized
phosphonate, and water-soluble salt and N-
oxide derivatives thereof, and method of use thereof as scale inhibitor. Particularly, the present invention relates to a composition comprising functionalized
methylene phosphate of amino-terminated 52xyalkylated, a water-soluble salt thereof, a N-
oxide salt thereof, or a water-soluble N-
oxide salt thereof as scale inhibitor to prevent scales formed due to deposition of
alkaline earth metal cations comprising (including)
calcium,
barium,
strontium,
magnesium, or a mixture thereof along with anions comprising (including)
sulfate,
carbonate,
bicarbonate,
phosphate,
silicate,
sulfide, or a mixture thereof, particularly to prevent scales formed due to deposition of
calcium carbonate,
calcium sulfate,
barium sulfate,
strontium sulfate,
magnesium sulfate, or a mixture thereof at a different
temperature and pressure in high
salinity medium including brine environment. Particularly, the present invention also relates to method of use of a composition comprising functionalized
methylene phosphonate of amino-terminated oxyalkylate, a water-soluble salt thereof, a N-oxide salt thereof, or a water-soluble N-oxide salt thereof as scale inhibitor to prevent scales formed due to deposition of
alkaline earth metal cations comprising (including) calcium,
barium,
strontium,
magnesium, or a mixture thereof along with anions comprising (including) sulfate,
carbonate,
bicarbonate,
phosphate,
silicate,
sulfide, or a mixture thereof, particularly to prevent scales formed due to deposition of
calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate,
barium sulfate,
strontium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, or a mixture thereof at a different
temperature and pressure in high
salinity medium including brine environment.
