Heat Exchanger Bypass Control to Mitigate the Cost of Fouling in Refinery Preheat Trains
Heat exchangers in refineries are usually designed with oversized exchange area to compensate for the gradual loss in thermal performance due to fouling. The control of bypasses during the initial stages of operation (clean conditions) represents a common strategy. This work focuses on the simulatio...
