Trueventus - Heat Exchanger 2011

“About 15% of the maintenance costs of a process plant can be attributed to heat exchangers and boilers, and of this, 50% of the maintenance costs are probably caused by fouling” - Pritchard and Thackery (Harwell Laboratories)

March 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Fouling of heat exchangers in the process industries is a chronic operating problem. It is a very costly issue as it increases fuel usage, results in interrupted operation and production losses, and increases maintenance costs. Panchal (Argonne National Laboratory), based on the study of Van Nostrand, re-estimated the energy and economic penalties associated with heat exchanger fouling for the US refineries to be more than $2 billion per year.
The aim of Heat Exchanger 2011 is to facilitate innovative thinking and to explore new theoretical and practical approaches to address the tremendous challenges associated with the handling of heat exchangers. It will also provide an opportunity for experts from the
process industry from around the world to present their latest research and technological developments in design, fouling mitigation, maintenance, cleaning strategies and so forth.
Over the course of two days, participants will glean the best practices associated with the design, operation and maintenance of heat exchangers of various types; and participate in an interactive workshop on Day 2 which will be based on critical case studies from around
the region which are not covered in textbooks or journals. Join us in Bangkok for this not to be missed conference!
