The predictions of two commonly used fouling monitoring devices, namely a heated rod in an annulus and a coiled wire in cross‐flow are compared. As fouling fluids, heptane with dissolved styrene (to simulate chemical reaction fouling), heptane with suspended particles (to simulate particulate fouling) and Kraft pulp black liquor (where both the above fouling mechanisms may occur) have been used.
