Water treatment and management is costly but mismanagement can be catastrophic. Salt deposits (scale) or hydrate formations can be the cause of many problems from flow restriction to masking corrosion in process or pipeline systems. PMAC’s Dynamic Scale Loop is seen as the Industry Standard in the identification of scaling potential, inhibitor selection and optimisation. The hydrate test cell operates to measure pressure and temperature under defined cooling conditions monitoring hydrate formation by gas absorption and formation exotherms. Stirring allows kinetics to be studied under modes of constant pressure or constant volume test conditions validating inhibitors under multiphase brine / crude / gas conditions.

PMAC also provide a high-pressure pH test cell, which can operate under static or dynamic conditions, flash pressure reduction to simulate tubing flow and under multiphase operation.
