We are interested in evaluating new/novel technologies that can detect the location, composition and amount of fouling in heat exchangers and evaporators.
Background
In the dairy industry, runtimes of thermal dairy processing units like heat exchangers and evaporators are limited by fouling: deposits of milk components on the heat transfer surfaces. Fouling of heat exchangers reduces heat transfer efficiency and thus affects the energy use and the economy of dairy processing.
Description of the need
We are interested in evaluating new/novel technologies that can detect the location, composition and amount of fouling in heat exchangers and evaporators.
What we know already
We are aware of in-line sensors that measure fouling at one specific spot within the heat exchanger.
FrieslandCampina produces and sells consumer products such as dairy-based beverages, infant nutrition, cheese and desserts in many European countries, in Asia and in Africa via its own subsidiaries. Dairy products and BtB ingredients are also exported worldwide from the Netherlands. FrieslandCampina has branch offices in 33 countries and employs just under 24,000 people. Revenues are around 12 billion Euros.
