The Challenge
This heat exchanger had a combination of bitumen and coke on the tube side and process steam on the shell side. The client confirmed this type of fouling typically took 8-11 days to clean. Thousand of gallons of water was used to remove this type of fouling with limited success. There was limited water capacity onsite which caused an additional logistical constraint. Over 25% of the exchanger was completely plugged with coke. This combination of fouling is difficult to clean to the binding. Current methods were hazardous and labour intensive.
