Fouling modelling in a UHT unit based on plant data.

Heat treatment of dairy products is essential for food safety, one way to perform this is ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing. During the process, macronutrients and minerals form fouling deposits which impairs heat transfer. Eventually the fouling needs to be removed chemically by alkaline and acidic detergents. Fouling buildup and removal are dependent on both internal parameters such as the
