FlowiT Scale is a software package from Scaled Solutions that can be used to carry out inorganic scale predictions.

By leveraging FlowiT Scale's advanced thermodynamics and kinetics capabilities, professionals in the oil and gas industry can make informed decisions, optimize production processes, and mitigate the risks associated with mineral scale formation throughout the production system from reservoir to topsides.

FlowiT Scale can be used to model conventional oil or gas systems or more complex ones involving EOR or corrosion control.

Includes Kinetic Predictions

• Indicates scaling risk based on kinetic factors such as temperature and hydrodynamics
• Empirical critical SR/SI values derived from laboratory testing and field cases
• Dynamic change of scaling risk plots based on the molar ratio of influencing ions
• Only available model that predicts scaling kinetics using a critical saturation ratio approach based on deposition on surfaces

Other Capabilities

• Based on a thermodynamic model established in the industry for over 20 years
• Proprietary solubility data at high pressure and temperature incorporated in the software thermodynamic database
• Large range of temperature and pressure including HP/HT with a temperature range of 0 – 300°C and pressure range of 1 – 1000bar
• Mineral scaling calculated for common carbonate and sulphate scales, halite and sulphides (iron, zinc and lead), as well as some less common scales
• Single or multiple temperature or pressure point calculations
• Accurate PVT, phase equilibria and chemical equilibria calculations including partitioning of CO₂ and H₂S
• Modelling of multi-phase fluid and mixing of different water sources including, but not limited to produced, injected, and aquifer water
• Accurate prediction of water evaporation and water content of natural gas
• Modern, user-friendly, and adjustable graphical user interface
• Live mode allowing for real-time modelling
• Up to 6 water, 6 oil and 6 gas compositions can be included in a simulation
