The slurry is composed of undissolved calcium oxide and some silicate particles in HBr aqueous solution. This solution is circulated from the reactor through the cooler to remove the heat of reaction while solid liquid reaction is taking place.
We have a horizontal shell and tube exchanger with slurry being through tube side. We used to face frequent fouling and precipitation issues in the tubes that drops heat transfer efficiency and requires chemical and/or mechanical cleaning. What is the best engineering practice for such...
