“…The presence of fouling leads to the significant decrease of the equipment's performance. In industrial processing equipment, different types of fouling can be found (Groysman, 2017;Kazi, 2012), which can be classified according to the type of equipment undergoing fouling; to the type of fluid causing the fouling; or to the key chemical/physical mechanism giving rise to the fouling. According to Groysman, 2017, fouling types can be divided into the following categories according to the mechanisms: crystallization fouling, particulate fouling, chemical reaction fouling, corrosion fouling, and biofouling.…”
