Better antifoulant chemistry to minimize the costly effects of fouled equipment
Process equipment fouling in oil refineries and petrochemical industries is an on-going, tenacious, and extremely costly problem. Severe economic and operational penalties related to fouling include:
- Inefficient heat transfer and subsequent increases in energy costs
- Reduced reliability and processing flexibility
- Excessive maintenance requirements
- Throughput limitations
- Equipment damage
- Significant safety and environmental concerns
