Abstract :
Fouling is a solid layer that forms on the surfaces of equipment and piping systems through a process called fouling.Some substances dissolved in fluids are deposited on the walls of heat transfer tubes or vessels under certain conditions. Sediment formation occurs during several industrial operations such as crystallization, distillation, evaporation, mixing, cooling or heating of liquids. In this article, we remove these deposits by using chemical methods and changing the size of the pipe.
