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 …
A major producer of supported catalysts in the U.S. was dissatisfied with the short lifespan of the temperature sensors in their rotary calciners. WIKA USA came up with a creative solution that protects thermocouples from mechanical damage while still providing …
Amine units are critical to the operations of refineries and chemical plants. If a unit fails due to corrosion, condensation and foaming, or another issue, the entire productivity and safety of the facility is imperiled. Temperature measurement solutions allow …
The function of an amine unit is to remove unwanted sulfur compounds and carbon dioxide from raw natural gas before it is sold and used. Proper temperature control plays a crucial role in how well the amine solution absorbs acid gases, as well as prevent issues that …
Thermal runaway reactions are one of the leading causes of accidents in chemical and petrochemical plants. To prevent such catastrophes, operators should continually monitor temperatures using sensors with the fastest possible response time for that application. …
