MODELLING CRYSTALLIZATION FOULING IN LIQUID-TO-AIR MEMBRANE ENERGY EXCHANGERS
… the membrane of LAMEEs may be subjected to crystallization fouling under some operating conditions which impacts performance. The primary goal of this thesis is to establish a model for LAMEEs that can predict the crystallization fouling rate, decline in moisture transfer flux due to …

EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF CRYSTALLIZATION FOULING IN LIQUID-TO-AIR MEMBRANE ENERGY EXCHANGERS
… the porous membranes used in LAMEEs are prone to crystallization fouling from liquid desiccants, and this may compromise the performance of LAMEEs. The research reported in this thesis aims to experimentally characterize crystallization fouling in LAMEEs. Experimental tests are performed to …

The mitigation of crystallization fouling in a falling-film flow: A self-cleaning mechanism driven by flow and wetting behavior
Crystallization fouling (or scaling) on heat transfer surfaces occurs in a wide range of applications in modern industries, such as desalination, food processing, petroleum refinery, and so on. Negative consequences of scaling include deteriorated heat transfer performance due to the formation of …

Gypsum scale formation on a heated copper plate under natural convection conditions and produced water remediation technologies review
Scaling or crystallization fouling of unwanted salts is one of the most challenging and expensive problems encountered in different applications such as heat exchangers and thermal water treatment technologies. Formation of dihydrated calcium sulfate scale, also known as gypsum, on a heated copper …

The study of pretreatment options for composite fouling of reverse osmosis membranes used in water treatment and production
… calcium sulphate and silica. However, silica fouling is the recovery limiting factor in RO system. Silica chemistry is complex and its degree of fouling strongly depends on the silica solubility and its polymerization under different operating conditions of RO process. In several studies …
