» New research report explores thermal transformation of asphaltenes and its impact on fouling behavior

F-33 Concept Study to Confirm Thermolysis-induced Asphaltene Precipitation Hypothesis presents a recent study, which confirmed that asphaltenes undergo thermolysis and precipitate when exposed to high temperatures, with compositional changes indicating possible oxidation or corrosion effects. Time-dependent tests showed progressive solid formation, highlighting the importance of residence time in predicting fouling potential for future modeling and protocols.

The Design Manual is the comprehensive reference for HTRI’s thermal design recommendations for all types of heat exchangers. It summarizes calculation methods in HTRI software, provides design recommendations, and offers practical design tips. We recently updated the following sections:

B1.2 Overall heat transfer coefficient and supporting calculations
B2.9 Pressure drop in plate-fin heat exchangers
B3.1 Heat transfer inside conduits of constant cross section
B4.6 Condensation of mixed vapors and vapor-gas mixtures
B4.13 Reflux condensation
B4.14 Enhanced condensation
C3.6 Shellside heat transfer and pressure drop, helical baffles
C7.1 Flow-induced vibration analysis

Access to the Design Manual is based on the level of membership chosen by your company. Please contact your sales representative or membership@htri.net with any questions.
