4. Chemical inhibitor issues – What solutions for the future?

4.1 Conventional inhibitors

The use of inhibitors contributes to the preservation of our environment. For example, the use of an antiscalant not only saves up to 96% water in a semi-open circuit, but also generates substantial energy savings. Dobersek and Goricanec show that 1 mm of scale leads to a 50% loss of heat transfer .

For reasons of both performance and budget, conditioning water to channel its naturally scaling properties seems an imperative.

In France, industrial water is subject...
