All very good and useful information and I do have a fouled reboiler. I also learned that it takes very little film build up on the tubes to insulate steam and foul up reboilers. As I am new to this I learn quickly. Thank you for the great information guys! Or girls! Whichever the case maybe.
I am having troubles retaining upper and lower temperatures in my stripper column. I have tried changing fluid levels, increasing steam, and having very little success at raising my temperatures.
The reboiler has been hydroblasted less than a 6 months ago. Any helpful hints or things I can try...
