Syngas plants require accurate, reliable temperature sensors to properly monitor the many processes. These include the water gas shift reaction and the process for reducing the copper catalyst. If temperatures veer outside the recommended range, the results are …
WIKA has decades of expertise in designing, manufacturing, and installing high-performance temperature measurement systems for refineries, an industry that requires accurate and robust thermocouple assemblies to keep their applications running smoothly and safely. Our …
Extremely high temperatures over time lead to grain growth in type K thermocouples, which can cause metal separation and thermocouple failure. Fortunately, good solutions exist for minimizing the effect of grain growth. Grain growth is a common cause of failure in …
To produce hydrogen for industrial use, syngas (synthesis gas) plants all over the world use steam methane reformers (SMR). Temperature measurement and monitoring is key to performance and safety, especially during the potentially dangerous startup process. A steam …
Hot spots can considerably reduce the life of furnace tubes. To monitor hot spots, tubeskins should be equipped with a reliable, robust temperature measurement system. Multipoint thermocouple assemblies can quickly alert operators when hot spots occur. In addition, …
