[0002] At present, the circulating cooling system is a basic process in chemical production. The 32°C circulating water system is used as the cooling medium in the production of 1,4-butanediol (BDO) to remove the reaction heat and effectively control the operating temperature of the device within the designed range. However, during the process operation, due to the flow scouring of the pipeline medium and the process treatment of the circulating water system itself, impurities such as silt are likely to accumulate in the circulating water pipeline, resulting in fouling of the heat exchanger, a decrease in the heat exchange effect, and the inability to meet the requirements of continuous and stable operation of the process.
[0003] At present, the treatment of heat exchanger fouling basically depends on chemical cleaning or high-pressure physical cleaning. However, no matter which of the above methods is used, the device needs to be shut down for treatment, reducing the operating time of the device, affecting the production capacity and increasing the labor cost.
