Inhibition of Barium Sulfat Crystal Formation in a Batch Method Crystallizer in the Presence of Cu and Zn

Deposits of barium sulfate are a common issue in the oil and gas industry. The presence these crystals impacts production, causing technical problems such as inhibiting flow rate, increasing pressure pipe, pipe to break be damaged. results this study show formation (BaSO4) with batch crystallizer method at 300 °C under influence stirring rotation speed (0 rpm, 120 240 360 480 rpm) additive concentration ppm, 5 10 15 2atm). In study, BaSO4 crystallization experiment was performed glass beaker using magnetic stirrer react BaCL2 Na2SO4. demonstrated that adding zinc chloride (ZnCl2) copper (ii) (CuCl2) additives reduced mass formed. amount scale forms can affected by rotational stirrer. According SEM analysis, crystal morphology orthorhombic, indicating shape typical barite crystals. While XRD analysis confirmed (barite) crystals, it also formed were solid
