particle invasion into an inefficient filter is demonstrated by assuming a
value of (C p2i) filer =0.005g/cm3 in Figures 12-12 through 12-16 Civan's(1998b) results have similar trends, but different values than the results
of Corapcioglu and Abboud (1990) and Abboud (1993), because of thesimplifying assumptions involved in their calculations, such as incom-pressible cake and constant cake porosity and the use of the same rates
of deposition for small and all (large plus small) particles over theprogressing cake surface Also, the average porosity of the filter cake canvary significantly in actual cases as described by Tien et al (1997) Next,Civan (1998b) obtained the numerical solution for the constant pres-sure drive filtration Corapcioglu and Abboud (1990) and Abboud (1993)did not present any results for this case The flow rate is allowed tovary according to Eqs 12-129 and 12-119 for the radial and linear cases,respectively In Figures 12-17 through 12-21, Civan's (1998b) results forthe linear and radial cases are compared The results presented in Figures12-12 through 12-21 indicate that fine particle invasion into the filterplays an important role The differences between the radial and linear

filtration results are more pronounced and the cake thickness and filtratevolume are less for the constant pressure filtration
Tien et al (1997) have solved their partial differential model numericallyusing a ready-made Fortran subroutine for linear filtration at staticcondition and reported numerical solutions along the filter cake only
at the 100- and 1000-seconds times Their model generates numericalsolutions over the thickness of the filter cake, whereas, Civan's (1998b,1999b) models calculate the thickness-averaged values Therefore, Civanaveraged the profiles predicted by Tien et al (1997) over the cake thick-ness and used for comparison with the solutions obtained with thethickness-averaged filter cake model Because Tien et al (1997) reportednumerical solutions at only two time instances, this resulted in only twodiscrete values Civan generated the numerical solutions with the linearfiltration model using the data identified as Data II in Table 12-2 forconstant rate and constant pressure filtrations As can be seen by Civan's(1998b) results presented in Figures 12-22 through 12-25, his ordinarydifferential model can closely reproduce the results of the Tien et al

(1997) partial differential model Note that, as indicated in Table 12-2,the values of the parameters at the present cake thickness-averaged levelshould be different than those for the formulation at the local levelconsidering the spatial variations, such as by Tien et al (1997)
Conclusions
Because of the improved phenomenological description and convenientcake thickness-averaged formulation, the ordinary differential models canprovide faster numerical solutions with reduced computational effort and,therefore, offer certain practical advantages over the partial differen-tial models for the analysis, design, and optimization of the cake filtra-tion processes
The applicability of the models by Corapcioglu and Abboud (1990) andAbboud (1993) is limited to static and low pressure filtration of dilutesuspensions and their assumption of the same rates for the deposition ofthe small and large particles over the progressing cake surface is notreasonable The Tien et al (1997) model can alleviate these problems but
it is computationally intensive and also limited to static filtration Thesemodels are for linear filtration and may sufficiently approximate radialfiltration only when the cake and the filter are much thinner compared
to the radius of the filter surface exposed to the slurry However, the radialmodel developed by Civan (1998a,b, 1999a,b) can better describe theradial filtration involving thick filter cake and filter media
The filtration models presented in this section provide insight into themechanism of compressive cake filtration and a convenient means ofsimulation with additional features

Inorganic Scaling and Gepchemical Formation Damage
Introduction
Inorganic scaling is a process of deposition of scales from aqueoussolutions of minerals, referred to as brines, when they become super-saturated as a result of the alteration of the state of their thermodynamicand chemical equilibria (Amaefule et al., 1988) Inorganic scaling canoccur in the well tubings and near well bore formations of the productionand injection wells
Amaefule et al (1988) explain that conditions leading to supersaturationcan be created by various mechanisms at different stages of reservoirexploitation Scaling is caused essentially by mixing incompatible fluidsduring well development operations, such as drilling, completion, work-over, such as acidizing Scaling is caused by a decrease of pressure and
