Operator lowers cost and risk by using one specially designed scale inhibitor instead of three

By replacing multiple formulations with the custom-engineered scale inhibitor SI-41047 that is equally effective but has a wider range of application, an operator achieved immediate and long-term savings, simplified logistics, enhanced safety, and lowered its carbon footprint.

A major operator in the Danish sector of the North Sea was using three different scale inhibitor formulations across five offshore platforms. The chemicals were continuously injected topside to mitigate the risk of carbonate scale; additional amounts were added during reinjection of spent triazine-based H₂S scavenger, which increases the risk of calcium carbonate scaling. Discharging the spent scavenger into the sea was not advisable because of the consequent environmental impact. The operator wanted a more cost-effective and simplified scale management strategy.
