Fouling Prevention Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

Fouling and scaling in heat exchangers are major issues across petrochemical and power industries, causing decreased thermal efficiency, high maintenance costs, and unplanned shutdowns. Our project introduces a self-cleaning shell and tube heat exchanger using circulating ceramic particles to continuously scrub tube surfaces, eliminating fouling without the need for shutdowns or chemical cleaning.
