The present experimental study aimed to investigate the feasibility of physical water treatment (PWT) devices using catalytic materials to mitigation of crystalization fouling. Two PWT devices having different shape and material were used. The results from microscopic observation and SEM photographs demonstrate that the crystal structure of $CaCO_3$ is Argonite type without water treatment while Calcite type with water treatment, which clearly shows the feasibility of PWT techinque using catalytic materials to mitigate crystalization fouling. For 500 ppm solution, the fouling resistance decreased up to about 23% due to physical water treatment using catalytic materials. The results also reveal that if two more techniques are used simultaneously the additional effects could be expected.
