Effects of nitrogenous substances on heat transfer fouling using model thin stillage fluids
Fouling is unwanted deposition of materials on surfaces of processing equipment, which leads to additional investment, lower processing efficiency and potential fluid contamination. In the corn ethanol industry, fouling occurs when thin stillage is concentrated into condensed distillers solubles. …

Analysis of Heat Transfer Fouling by Thin Stillage From Dry Grind Corn Processing Facilities
… of acid used to adjust pH and Reynolds number on fouling by thin stillage from a commercial dry grind corn (DGC) process used to produce ethanol from corn. Thin stillage is a DGC process stream consisting primarily of unfermented dissolved solids that are concentrated by evaporators to produce an …

Characteristics of heat transfer fouling of thin stillage using model thin stillage and evaporator concentrates
… was produced primarily by dry grind process. Heat transfer equipment fouling occurs during corn ethanol production and increases the operating expenses of ethanol plants. Following ethanol distillation, unfermentables are centrifuged to separate solids as wet grains and liquid fraction as thin …

Effects of temperature conditions and heat treatment within a multiple effect evaporator on thin stillage fouling characteristics
Heat transfer fouling is the accumulation and formation of unwanted materials on heat transfer surfaces which leads to a decrease in the overall heat transfer coefficient. Fouling of heat transfer equipment increases energy consumption and maintenance costs and thus decreases processing efficiency. …
