Course Overview

Polymer fouling is an undesired and important circumstance in process industry mainly because of the huge costs associated with reduction in process performance, deposit removal and, in the worst cases, equipment damage and replacement. For this reason, it is very profitable for chemical companies to understand and contrast causes and implications associated to this phenomenon.

Objective:

In this programme you will:

Understand the importance to minimize polymer fouling
Acquire the fundamental knowledge regarding polymer formation and fouling
Learn how to identify and study different polymer deposits
Investigate the effect of temperature on polymer formation and removal
Understand the real effectiveness of practices for polymer reduction and cleaning
Discuss and compare different methods of polymer reduction and removal
