Heat exchanger fouling by petroleum asphaltenes
Fouling during petroleum processing is a well documented problem. The increased use of heavy crude oils, which are rich in asphaltenes, to meet increasing energy demands has brought the severity of the problem to the fore. Petroleum asphaltenes are generally held as the main precursors of fouling...
