“…In beverage industry, particulate/sedimentation fouling during membrane filtration of beer and other fermented beverages plays an important role (Blanpain & Lalande, 1997;Czekaj, López, & Güell, 2000). In water treatment plants, mostly scaling and biofilms are present and can hinder processing (Laine, Campos, Baudin, & Janex, 2003;Müller-Steinhagen, Hartnett, Irvine, Cho, & Greene, 1999) while in crude oil processing scaling and chemical reaction occur reducing heat exchanger performance (Butterworth, 2002;Deshvannar, Rafeen, Ramasamy, & Subbaro, 2010). In heat exchangers, the pressure between inlet and outlet is measured regularly.…”
