The aim of this study is to conduct laboratory and field studies to investigate the complete assessment of arghel extract as a novel environmental antiscalant, and corrosion inhibitor. The obtained results will be compared with the available commercial inhibitors. Mineral scales were deposited from the brine solution by cathodic polarization of the steel surface at 40o C. The used evaluation techniques were chronoamperometry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques, optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM) as well as infrared spectroscopy (IR) examination to rank the efficiency of both used inhibitors.
