A microbial fouling model based on Kern-Seaton model and Capdeville biofilm growth system
In order to study biofouling process in heat exchangers
a new microbial fouling model was established by introducing the Capdeville biofilm growth system into the Kern-Seaton model. The new model was verified by experiments of the iron bacteria growth in tubular heat exchangers. Less than 20% relative error was achieved between the model prediction and the experimental data regardless of the induction period.
