A detection system for use with a pipeline network having a fluid flowing therethrough. The fluid contains an ingredient that deposits on the interior walls of the pipeline network. The detection system is interposed within the pipeline network and comprises a first fluid path and a second fluid path. A material is distributed throughout the interior of the second fluid path that is capable of inducing and accelerating the deposition of the fluid ingredient on the walls of the second fluid path. A sensor exposed to the second fluid path monitors changes in the path indicative of deposit build-up. The sensor communicates with a control system. The control system directs a chemical injector to introduce chemical inhibitors into the pipeline network to inhibit ingredient deposition on the walls of the pipeline network.

System and method for detection and control of the deposition of flow restricting substances

A system and method for preventing scale in a well. The system includes a conduit providing fluid communication between a first location and a second location and a sensor at the second location configured to measure scale deposition in the fluid and a value of a fluid parameter. A scale deposition at the first location is determined from the scale deposition at the second location and the fluid parameter at the second location. A scale inhibitor is injected at the first location based on the determined scale deposition at the first location.
