Method for selecting chemical agents for removing scale

Abstract

A method for selecting chemical agents for removing scale, the chemical agents being adapted for scale and its base material. A method for selecting chemical agents for removing scale, the method including steps of: obtaining coordinates A of an intrinsic physical property value based on a Hansen solubility parameter of an entire scale of interest; obtaining coordinates B of an intrinsic physical property value based on a Hansen solubility parameter of a surface on a base material side of the scale of interest; obtaining coordinates C of an intrinsic physical property value based on a Hansen solubility parameter of a base material of interest; selecting a penetrant having coordinates D of an intrinsic physical property value based on a Hansen solubility parameter based on an interaction radius Ra of the scale of interest with the coordinates A at the center; selecting a remover having coordinates E of an intrinsic physical property value based on a Hansen solubility parameter based on a positional relationship between the coordinates B and the coordinates C; and selecting an inducer having coordinates F of an intrinsic physical property value based on a Hansen solubility parameter based on a positional relationship between the coordinates D and the coordinates E.
