Fouling thickness variation

With the real-time data of fouling layer thickness variation obtained by either of the above-mentioned methods, a dynamic analysis procedure based on mass and... 

Careful application of linings is required to provide a reasonably uniform thickness and to give complete coverage. Substantial variations in thickness will affect the local heat transfer and may affect the overall performance of the heat exchanger. Incomplete coverage may not substantially affect fouling reduction, but where corrosion resistance is required, breaks in the lining membrane can lead to severe localised corrosion. 

This dynamic analysis procedure enables us to obtain these basis data by knowing the surface porosity of a fouling layer and the real-time variation in the fouling layer thickness. In summary, the adopted dynamic procedure proves itself to be useful tool not only for designing a membrane filtration system but also for predicting or monitoring the system performance during plant operation.
