Abstract: This article is addressed to develop a general procedure for the prediction of fouling in the holding tube of plate heat exchangers to different pHs. A practical procedure based on the combination of a non-linear function and sequential annealing (SA) algorithm allows predicting the fouled deposit thickness. Good agreement of the predicted results and experimental data has been achieved. The results are encouraging enough to validate current operating industrial techniques and can be extended to other type of equipments or heat exchangers.
