Temperature Measurement: An Effective Tool for Monitoring Catalyst Performance
Robert Torgerson | Know-howRefineries rely on accurate temperature measurement and monitoring for information about catalyst performance and remaining catalyst life. The key measurements in a syngas (synthesis gas) shift reactor are 1) approach to equilibrium temperatures and 2) exotherm …
Accuracy and Response Times for Thermocouples, Thermowells and Other Temperature Instruments for Syngas Plants
Robert Torgerson | Know-howEach temperature measurement system on the market has its particular features and limitations. When deciding which ones to use in syngas plant reactors, it is important to take into account the response times, accuracy, and other specifications of thermocouples, …
The Key Role a Temperature Sensor Plays During Water Gas Shift Reaction and Catalyst Reduction
Robert Torgerson | Know-howSyngas 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 …
Five Things to Take into Account When Measuring Temperature with Thermocouples
Adam DeLancey | TemperatureThermocouples are popular temperature measurement devices due to their versatility, responsiveness, ruggedness, and low cost. To make the most of them, here are five things you should know about industrial thermocouple assemblies. Thermocouples are the workhorses …
