Abstract
AbstractFouling is a challenge in many processes, especially in heat exchangers and evaporators. Even though many treatments have been developed to mitigate fouling on metallic surfaces, no standardized method exists to compare equipment based on its antifouling performance. In this work, a screening apparatus is presented, which allows to compare samples of treated metallic surfaces based on thermal fouling resistance. A parameter screening and a ranking of three differently treated metallic surfaces using two model substances, namely, whey protein concentrate (WPC) and calcium sulfate, are demonstrated.
