The production of biofuels is subject to demanding process conditions. These therefore also pose major challenges for level measurement in biorefineries. The instruments used in the core processes, depending on where they are used, must operate in hydrogen-containing …

Biofuels: Precise temperature profile for production
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsRenewable instead of fossil: biofuels contribute significantly to climate protection and, in addition, to a more sustainable economy. They are produced, for example from used cooking oil, in reactors at temperatures of up to 450 °C. Monitoring these reactors requires …
Using a multipoint thermocouple to produce sustainable aviation fuel
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsWaste is valuable. Solid municipal waste, such as packaging, paper or food, can be used to produce fuel for aircraft, for example. During the production process, the control of exothermic reactions requires reliable and precise temperature monitoring. This requires a …
Temperature transmitter T38 doesn’t give drift a chance
Nadine Daniel | Products, TemperatureFor plant operators a permanent temperature sensor’s drift tends to be a pain in the neck. This defect usually becomes apparent at a following calibration – in other words: too late! Until then it might have caused a false temperature measurement and compromised …
Pressure measurement: How users benefit from a systems provider
Jing Lyu | Know-how, PressurePressure measurement could be so simple: Installing a pressure gauge, pressure transmitter or IIoT measuring instrument with radio unit – done. But in many cases, a measuring location requires more components than just the measuring instrument, especially in the …
