ABSTRACT:
Given models linking flow resistance and fouling resistance
it becomes possible to simulate the effects of fouling on the
hydraulic performance of a refinery pre-heat train. Such a
simulation has been used here to identify when plant
throughput will be limited by pressure drop; how
throughput can be improved through the cleaning of
individual exchangers and groups of exchangers; and how
much production can be maintained when individual
exchangers are taken off-line.
Determination of better operating strategy requires a
simulation of both hydraulic and thermal performance. In
this paper we implement a pragmatic linked model and
consider the results from a set of simulations.
