Deposits on surfaces in water – bearing systems, also known as “fouling”, can lead to substantial losses in the performance of industrial processes as well
Author: P. Bierganns and Edward S. BeardwoodTales abound concerning operational failures in steam generating systems. In most cases, during the investigation phase of the root cause analysis, it becomes clear that
Author: Douglas B. DeWitt-Dick and Edward S. BeardwoodThe global economy has forced a shift in emphasis from preventative maintenance to risk based maintenance with expectations of extending the time between scheduled outages
Author: Edward S. BeardwoodA novel approach to onsite, high purity generation of a monochloramined amine (MCA), whenapplied to cooling waters, has revealed equivalent performance attributes as associated withchlorine
Author: Edward S. BeardwoodFouling of enhanced heat exchanger tubes has been a significant problem in the industry since theirintroduction. The intensity of fouling has been shown to be
Author: Edward S. Beardwood, George F. Hays, Steven J. ColbyAn on-line fouling monitor was employed to obtain over five million hours of data onfouling in recirculating cooling water heat exchangers. From these data a
