Operators of steam methane reformers have various methods at their disposal for measuring tube wall temperature, but the best solution for accurate and continuous temperature measurement are surface thermocouples. The furnace tubes of a steam methane reformer (SMR) …
A measure of performance and dependability, Safety Integrity Level (SIL) ratings take into account on-demand failures and risk-reduction factors, and is valid for five years. Reapproved on January 28, 2022, WIKA’s SIL 3-certified multipoint thermocouple assembly …
The fertilizer industry converts raw materials into three main types of fertilizers: nitrogen (ammonia), phosphorus, and potassium. These various applications call for chemical processes with precise control and accurate monitoring of temperature, pressure, level, …
Low-level flue gas recovery allows refineries to improve their heaters’ efficiency. However, this process could lead to the condensation of flue gases, and these acidic droplets can corrode equipment. For optimal safety and efficiency, refineries must monitor …
Having an accurate temperature profile of reactors can alert operators of small problems before they become large ones. However, the process of checking thermocouples usually requires significant downtime and, thus, expense. WIKA’s Multipoint Thermocouple …
