Case Introduction

　　After long-term operation, the circulating cooling water system of a petrochemical enterprise has experienced scaling, corrosion, and fluctuations in water quality. As the cycle‑water concentration factor increases, calcium ions, magnesium ions, and other scale‑forming ions become progressively enriched, leading to a decline in heat‑transfer efficiency of the heat exchangers and, in localized areas, to corrosion and deposit formation.
　　Based on the on-site water quality and the operating conditions of the circulating water system, Prio’s technical team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the makeup water quality, circulating water concentration, pH, hardness, alkalinity, and equipment operating status, and developed a targeted corrosion and scale inhibition treatment plan.
　　The scheme employs a corrosion and scale inhibitor suitable for petrochemical circulating water systems, which reduces the risk of scale formation on heat-exchanger surfaces by controlling the precipitation of scaling ions and crystal growth. In addition, coupled with appropriate blowdown and water-quality monitoring measures, it ensures stable operation of the circulating water system.
　　During actual operation, the dosage of chemical agents is dynamically optimized in response to changes in on-site water quality, while the pH, hardness, alkalinity, concentration factor, and corrosion conditions of the circulating water are continuously monitored.
　　Following continuous operation and optimization, scaling in the circulating water system has been effectively controlled, heat exchange equipment operates stably, and the frequency of equipment cleaning and maintenance has been reduced, thereby providing robust water‑treatment support for the continuous and stable operation of petrochemical production units.
