ABSTRACT:
One of the aromatic compound plants in Mitsubishi
Chemical Corporation has a heavy crystallization fouling
problem. We have been studying the crystallization process
using the shell and tube heat-exchanger. In order to solve
our fouling problem of the heat exchanger, we developed
the specified evaluation equipment (crystallization fouling
simulator : CFS) which consists of a single tube heatexchanger
(Tube size: ID=10.3mm Length=500mm). The
result of the modeling for describing the crystallization
fouling rate and the countermeasure of the fouling problem
are discussed in this work. It can be possible to describe the
fouling rate as one equation which has two parameters, and
the fouling rate of the industrial plant and the evaluation
equipment agree with each other.
