This paper presents a review of the experimental measurement and prediction models of crude oil fouling rate in crude refinery preheat trains. Test apparatus of crude oil fouling can be classified as the stirred vessel unit and the recirculation system. The detailed structures, comparison, and applications of fouling apparatus have been summarized firstly. Subjected to the fact that the experimental data cannot be simply extrapolated to the field, the prediction models should be proposed. By analyzing the basis of prediction models, this paper reviews its development secondly, as well as the applications and limitations. There are many problems to be solved for better understanding the fouling mechanism and improving the prediction models. The research status of crude oil fouling in China is overviewed briefly at last in this paper. This paper aims at calling more attention on the research of crude oil fouling mechanism and relative prediction models for serving domestic crude oil industries.

“…Ebert and Panchal (1997) initially predicted rate of deposition using film temperature but in recent researches, Heat Transfer Research Incorporated (HTRI) established the rate of deposition using the skin temperature as it presents better trending than with film temperature (Lestina and Zettler, 2014). According to the study, high variability in activation energy is a challenge.…”

“…Ebert and Panchal (1997) evaluated a particular crude oil using activation energy of 69 kJ/mole. However, recent HTRI study of four crude oil samples discovered activation energy values spanning from 128 kJ/mole to 269 kJ/mole (Lestina and Zettler, 2014). As a follow up to the model of Eq.…”

“…While contemporary approaches are adequate for comparative study of fouling phenomenon, Lestina and Zettler (2014) believe that there is no general method to predict fouling tendency. Existing prognostic fouling models have limitations in their use, and series of advancements are being carried out based on chemical characterization (Lestina and Zettler, 2014).…”

Kaneko et al (2009) constructed statistical models (using chemoinformatics methods) with linear (partial least squares method) and nonlinear regression methods (support vector regression method) to predict fouling potential.…”

Heat exchangers as a heat transfer device has gained wide applications across different levels of domestic and industrial set-ups. Various studies have been carried out to study, analyse and predict its performance. However, one major phenomenon that limits heat exchanger performance is attributed to fouling. Based on this, various studies and approaches have focused on reduction, elimination and mitigation of fouling. This study therefore focused on this. It reviewed several attempts that have been carried out to understand and mitigate the incidents of fouling in heat exchangers. The study found that despite the existing models developed towards understanding fouling, there is no single model that has provided an accurate prediction of fouling in all the different types of heat exchangers. Also, majority of existing results have limited applications and some of the solutions are only peculiar to particular type of heat exchanger. Further to this, majority of the study results only pointed to small scale laboratory test schemes and there is absence of in-situ measurements that predicts actual (real life) service performance.
