Fouling of pre-heat train exchangers can be mitigated in various ways.

These include changes to exchanger design: switching from tube-side to shell-side; installing tube inserts; replacement tube bundles.

They also include modifications to the structure of pre-heat trains.

Means by which suitable modifications can be identified are described.
