Mitigation methods for Corrosion Fouling. The primary method used to prevent tube-side corrosion fouling involves minimizing the energy of the substrate – i.e. you want to be sure there's no foreign material inside the coil, which could serve as an electrolyte, enabling corrosion. No electrolyte = no galvanic corrosion. Scaling

If fouling were not to occur, there would be little need for cleaning. Broadly speaking, 2 methods for preventing fouling have been approached in the literature: Functional surfaces—For example, smooth surfaces with specific finish, topography, hydrophobicity, or surface charge.

How to prevent fouling in heat exchangers The best method to reduce fouling is to keep it from happening in the first place by utilizing a heat exchanger that is properly sized for the application, giving adequate velocities, surface area, and temperature splits. ~ Melissa Fryer, Sanitary Heat Transfer Business Development Manager, Alfa Laval

Fouling encompasses a number of issues, and no single treatment method can prevent or mitigate all types of fouling. Instead, the water should be analyzed to determine the best treatment method for the given issue. The first step towards cleaner, more efficient water systems is a system audit by a water treatment expert.

Increased quantities of regenerant and increased frequency (and elevated temperatures) of regeneration can reduce fouling, by preventing contaminants from gaining a permanent hold. It is good operating practice to ensure that all resin in the ion
