What should be done about scaling in the tube side of a reboiler? How can scaling in the tube side of the reboiler be reduced during normal operation?
For scaling in the tube side, we mainly use high-pressure water for cleaning. In daily operations, increasing the flow rate of the fluid inside the tubes can be an option. In addition, it is necessary to analyze the causes of scaling and adopt appropriate technical measures
If it is a thermal siphon reboiler, it is recommended to switch to a forced circulation reboiler, as this can increase the flow rate of the material； Secondly, it can reduce the temperature of the material in the reboiler’s tube side, which should help to alleviate scaling.

That's just how we are. The reboiler isn’t heating properly; maybe the tubes are blocked!
To find the cause of scaling, it is material polymerization, suspended particles within the material, etc
