Fouling of food process plant surfaces and the subsequent cleaning needed is a significant
industrial problem, and as the cost of water and chemical disposal increases, the problem is …

Fouling is unwanted deposit on a (heat transfer) surface. In food and dairy industry it is a
major problem because heat transfer to the product is decreased resulting in reduced …

With contributions from leading international researchers, this second edition of Electrical
Impedance Tomography: Methods, History and Applications has been fully updated …

The fouling factor (R f) is an operating index for measuring an undesirable effect of solids'
deposition on the heat transfer ability of heat exchangers. Accurate prediction of the fouling …

Food and drink is the largest manufacturing sector worldwide and has significant
environmental impact in terms of resource use, emissions, and waste. However, food and …

In this work, we investigated the role of four independent process parameters, namely
product temperature at the heat exchanger outlet, mean residence time, temperature …

Variability in milk composition and physicochemical properties impact both manufacturing
process performance and the end‐use functionality of cheese. Such variability may be …

Formation of deposits on heat exchanger surfaces during operation rapidly increases the
thermal resistance and reduces the operating service life. Product quality is deteriorated by …

In the studies of fouling and cleaning of heat exchange surfaces in dairy plants, whey protein
deposits and heat induced whey protein gels (HIWPG) are considered as suitable model …

Clean-in-Place is an autonomous technique used to clean the internal surfaces of
