Inorganic salt precipitation can occur in various industries such as the circulating cooling water system and oilfields. Desalination is one of the main approaches for increasing the performance of the systems and equipment. Phosphonate and green scale inhibitors can be used for the effective prevention of different salts. The mechanism of reagents should be determined by modeling and experimental study. Simulation of the return profile of scale inhibitor concentration provides helpful information about the protection period from the salt precipitation, which can be predicted by the isotherm models. For this purpose, the adsorption and desorption processes of scale inhibitors should be examined. In the petroleum industry, formation damage of the porous media with and without the use of scale inhibitors can be analyzed for the effective control of salt precipitation in the near-wellbore region and production well.
