Abstract
This study highlights the link between hydrodynamics and fouling phenomena in a continuous rectangular ohmic cell. The hydrodynamic study was carried out using flow visualisation techniques and particle image velocimetry (PIV). The distribution of deposits in the ohmic cell was investigated by heating an aqueous solution of β-lactoglobulin-xanthan gum mixture. Experimental results show that the deposit distribution on the electrode surfaces is directly related to the flow structures in the ohmic cell.
