How to Reduce the Effects of Heat Exchanger Fouling

A leading manufacturer of industrial heat exchangers is warning engineers and those specifying heat exchanger installations not to underestimate the effects of material fouling on performance. Light fouling can impact the heat transfer process, reducing energy efficiency or preventing the heat exchanger operating within its designed parameters. In extreme cases, fouling can completely block heat exchangers, requiring significant intervention to remove or replace the affected equipment.

Radiometric Measurement Solutions for the Petrochemical Industry

In order to produce a variety of plastics and polymers, petrochemistry deals with the synthesis of hydrocarbon compounds, derived from the refining of crude oil and/or processing of natural gas. During the production of polymers, extreme conditions can occur, such as high-pressure and high-temperature. Thus, conventional density, level and level-switch measurement solutions can often not […]
