Description
The deposition of foulants on chemical, food processing and power generating facilities, continues to pose serious challenges in energy and environmental management. The thesis titled, "Scale deposition and removal from heated surfaces in sugarcane factories" studied the deposits formed in Thai sugar factories and used advanced analytical tools, that hitherto have not been used for scale evaluation. The work developed a new formulation for the cleaning of evaporators and provided pointers that will result in a step change in the development and design of cleaning formulations for the sugar industry.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
