Scale deposits can accumulate in producing wells, water and disposal wells, flow lines and surface equipment. They damage equipment, reduce flow rates and lower efficiencies.

The temperature instability of the chemical has to be such that it breaks down at the temperature needed to release phosphoric acid. The program performs poorly at low temperatures. Iron phosphate scale breaks off in high velocity areas and becomes a foulant. If the crude slate suddenly changes and there is not enough reactive sulfur to sustain the production of iron sulfide, the phosphoric acid has minimum ability to react with the base metal. Naphthenic acid competes with the phosphoric acid to react with the iron sulfide. If the acid content in the crude increases, it can react directly with the iron sulfide and increase corrosion.
