WIKA USA offers a range of high-quality temperature measurement solutions that meet the latest performance and safety demands posed by syngas plants.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The continuing demand for hydrogen comes with the need to improve performance. Push capacity, extended catalyst runs, and the use of alternative feedstocks have become the norm for today\u2019s syngas (synthesis gas) plants. Environmental and safety requirements put even more pressure on plant operators.\u00a0Temperature information is vital in syngas processes in order to approach equilibrium, stay within tube wall temperatures, and draw catalyst bed exotherm curves \u2013 to name just a few situations. That is why engineers continually look for temperature measurement instruments they can rely on.<\/p>\n<h2>WIKA Temperature Measurement Products<\/h2>\n<p>Since 1958, Gayesco International \u2013 now a part of the WIKA Group \u2013 has been designing innovative solutions for measuring temperature in syngas plants\u2019 furnaces and catalyst beds all over the world. Our products provide accurate, reliable temperature measurements to ensure safe and dependable performance, especially in the following four areas: <span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Catalyst Beds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Even small deviations in the temperature of a catalyst bed can negatively affect process reactions and prematurely spend the catalyst. To create a full profile of the exotherm, a temperature measurement system collects and compiles data from multiple points throughout the catalyst in fixed-bed shift reactors. In these exotherm curves, operators can see important information about the catalyst, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Events, such as poisoning, that affect catalyst performance<\/li>\n<li>Catalyst die-off rates and bed life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>WIKA not only designs, manufactures, and installs new systems, but also retrofits systems to increase the number of measurement points in existing pipewell units. These multipoint assemblies provide the necessary data to optimize catalyst performance and plan efficient turnarounds. The innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/tc96_r.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Gayesco\u00a0<\/a><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/tc96_r.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Flex-R<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> multipoint thermocouple\u00a0<\/span>accurately and reliably collects radial temperature data in challenging environments. The Gayesco\u00a0<span>Flex<\/span><span>-O\u2122\u00a0<\/span>pipewell multipoint system is ideal for gathering gradient temperature information.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Steam Methane Reformer Furnaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The demanding conditions of steam methane reformer furnaces push metallurgy to its limits. Creep failure is a real threat, and accurate tubeskin temperature measurements are critical.<\/p>\n<p>WIKA has developed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/tc59_r.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Gayesco\u00a0Refracto-Pad<sup><span>\u00ae<\/span><\/sup><\/a>, a shielded tubeskin thermocouple assembly designed with high-tech opaque insulation that better represents the true tubeskin temperature in furnaces and boilers. In its latest version, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/tc59_x.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Gayesco\u00a0Xtracto-Pad<sup><span>\u00ae<\/span><\/sup><\/a><span>, the thermocouple is removable and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/products\/temperature-products\/thermocouple-repair-replacement\/\">eliminates the need for additional welding when replaced<\/a>. For new applications, clips and pads for these systems can be installed at the tubes\u2019 manufacturer to minimize issues related to heat treating.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Refractory Lined Transfer Piping and Vessels<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hot spots are critical safety concerns in refractory lined transfer pipes and vessels. If hot gas gets behind the refractory, the temperature of the skin increases and can surpass the metallurgical limit of the material. To prevent system failures, it is vital to identify and manage hot spots.<\/p>\n<p>WIKA USA\u2019s robust, dependable skin temperature measurement systems are routinely used in refractory lined transfer pipping and vessels. We have partnered with other technology providers to offer a fiber optic cable that can be attached to the line or vessel. Fiber optic technology helps measurement instruments draw a complete temperature profile in order to pinpoint hot spots.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Pilot Light Detectors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Robust, reliable flame rods are a must for detecting pilot lights in furnaces and to ensure safe operations. WIKA offers a variety of options, including the next-generation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/gfr_3.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">GFR-3 <\/a>with improved tip design, to suit the needs of syngas plants.<\/p>\n<p>WIKA\u2019s experts have decades of expertise not only in temperature measurement solutions for syngas units, but also in installing, calibrating, and maintaining them for years of worry-free operation.
