CAPABILITIES

To effectively manage and optimize your operations, ScaleChem offers a suite of advanced capabilities tailored to address specific challenges and enhance operational safety and efficiency.

H2S partitioning calculations

Accurately track and manage H2S concentrations for safety and integrity.

MEG and methanol modeling

Model scale formation with MEG and methanol inclusion.

Online automation

Automate scale risk assessments in near real time. Automatically load water chemistry, well temperature and pressure, rates and all relevant information. View your scale prediction results in convenient reports in your own online dashboard tools.

Expert technical support

Get expert help from OLI industry experts for complex scaling challenges.

SCALE CALCULATIONS

Scale risk

ScaleChem calculates scale risk profiles from reservoir to water injection / disposal, identifying critical scale risk points to optimize chemical treatment. It auto-generates scale contours for a range of T and P so you can quickly see how the scale risk varies from current conditions. Both MEG and methanol systems are covered.

Facilities modeling

ScaleChem models topside facilities so you can check scale risk here too. Advanced features determine H2S partitioning in the oil, gas and water phases, enabling a check against material and safety limits.

Contour diagram

Temperature / pressure contour diagrams can be automatically generated for tens of thousand of points. The changes in scale potential as well as in any other calculated property can be conveniently visualised and exported as graphs or tables.
