Fouling Control

Fouling control involves preventing or minimizing the buildup of unwanted layers—like minerals, biological growth, or sediments—inside equipment such as pipelines, filters, or heat exchangers. These deposits can reduce efficiency, increase energy consumption, and cause damage. Strategies include using chemical additives, controlling flow rates, implementing regular cleaning or flushing, and designing equipment to reduce buildup. Effective fouling control helps maintain optimal operation, extends equipment lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs by keeping systems clean and functioning smoothly.
