This paper presents the causes and recommended solutions for three examples of fouling in heat exchangers in oil industry. The studied cases include fouling and underneath corrosion in heavy diesel oil (HOD) heat exchangers, fouling in glycol heat exchangers and fouling in vertical thermosyphon heat reboilers.
