Condition monitoring is key to safety and efficiency in the process industry, but the tendency of electronic thermometers to drift under certain conditions means the temperature data that operators receive isn’t always reliable. WIKA solves this problem with an …
An energy company’s process furnaces were experiencing excessive coking, leading to wasted energy and frequent downtimes for tube cleaning. After installing WIKA’s Tefracto-Pad ® thermocouples, the energy company enjoyed longer run lengths between decoking …
Energy companies around the world, including in the U.S., have converted some of their petroleum refineries to produce renewable diesel instead. Others are planning to do so. Temperature monitoring of catalyst beds, using multipoint thermocouple assemblies, plays a key …
From cooking the pulp to drying the final product, paper production is heat-intensive. Thermocouples, RTDs, dial thermometers, thermowells, digital transmitters, and more help ensure the safety and efficiency of many applications in pulp and paper plants. This …
To minimize coking and maximize the conversion rate in a steam cracker, olefin producers need to closely monitor the furnace’s coil outlet temperature (COT). Various types of sensors measure this key parameter . WIKA USA tested the common sensors designs to evaluate …
