A novel technique to mitigate the effects of fouling on heat transfer surfaces will be explored. Using the techniques of genetic engineering, a peptide with a strong affinity to bind the metal ion that causes scale formation will be sought. This peptide will remove the ion from the working fluid upstream of the heat exchanger in an ion-binding peptide column, thus preventing fouling. Methods of regenerating the peptide for repeated use will also be investigated. The study will focus on calcium carbonate as a common example of a scale-forming substance.

一种新的技术，以减轻污垢对传热表面的影响将被探索。 使用基因工程技术，将寻找对引起水垢形成的金属离子具有强亲和力的肽。 该肽将从离子结合肽柱中的热交换器上游的工作流体中去除离子，从而防止结垢。 还将研究再生肽以重复使用的方法。 这项研究将侧重于碳酸钙作为一种常见的成垢物质。
