Scale in a pipeline is primarily caused by the precipitation of minerals, such as calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, and magnesium hydroxide, from the fluid being transported. This often occurs due to changes in temperature, pressure, or pH levels, which can lead to supersaturation of these minerals. Additionally, biological growth, organic deposits, and corrosion can contribute to scale formation, reducing flow efficiency and potentially causing blockages. Regular maintenance and appropriate chemical treatments are essential to manage and prevent scaling issues.
