The tube bundle was removed and found clean and the shell it self was clean
Any guess where the problem could be found

Can you be more descriptive? "Having a problem" does not tell us much. Give the inlet and outlet data (T, P, flow rates), the heat exchanger specifications (tube size and length and number, heat exchange area, MAWPs, etc.), the heat duties, and exactly the physical parameter that is limited. How do you know the HX is not at it's physical limit?

Hi,
a PID is appreciated, on top of Latexman's requests.
Is it a new problem?
Could be accumulation of inert, could be quality of the steam? should be saturated, could be an issue with level ....
Nothing wrong with your process???
Many things, in fact.

Actually I don't know how to add a PID here, for your question is it a new problem, yes it is
We used to feed to the column 39 m3/HR with approx 5000 kg/h steam
Now with control valve opening 100 % the steam flow is approx 4200 kg /HR , the steam is saturated, pressures 3.5 bar, temp 175 degree C
