To guarantee that the gas, oil, and water phase standards are met for the remainder of the life of an oil or gas field, economical treatment technologies must be applied. The right use of chemicals affects treatment plant efficiency, among other things. As the number of chemicals used in the system increases exponentially, so do the complexity and possible difficulties. Thus, it is crucial to take into account process engineering expertise and the effects of applied chemicals.
