CDU Heat Exchanger Online Cleaning Schedule by KongWeiHern is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document presents a study on developing an optimization model to determine the optimum online cleaning schedule for heat exchangers in a crude preheat train (CPT) of a crude distillation unit (CDU). The model minimizes the cost of energy and cleaning and considers changes in fouling rates over time. The study considers two cases: 1) online cleaning only and 2) simultaneous online cleaning and retrofitting with high efficiency heat exchangers. Case 2 results in the highest energy savings of 59% and payb
