Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of preventing or reducing scale formation or corrosion by combining at least one scale-forming fluid comprising at least one scaling compound with at least one anti-scale material chosen from at least one scale-adsorbent agent. The methods may reduce or prevent the formation of scale on surfaces of liquid-related process equipment, such as boilers and heat exchangers.

49. A method of preventing or reducing scale formation, comprising:
-
providing at least one scale-forming fluid comprising at least one scaling compound in the form of at least one scale crystal; providing at least one particulate scale-adsorbent agent to the at least one scale-forming fluid; and allowing the at least one scale-adsorbent agent to distort the at least one scale crystal and disperse the distorted crystal. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56)
