The Role of Thermocouple Sensors in Catalyst Die-Off Predictions for LTS Syngas Reactors
Robert Torgerson | Know-howBy using thermocouple sensors and plotting temperature measurements at different points in the catalyst bed, syngas plant operators can accurately predict catalyst behavior. The resulting “S” curves – along with shifts and shape changes over time – also give …
WIKA’s New and Easy Way to Find the Right Measuring Instrumentation for Hydrocracking Processes
Robert Torgerson | ApplicationsAn interactive pipeline and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) by WIKA USA simplifies the evaluation and selection process for the best temperature, pressure, and level measuring solutions for your hydroprocessing applications. A couple of clicks on the diagram …
Prevent Hydrocracking Runaways with the Gayesco Flex-R® Multipoint Thermocouple
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureThermal runaways in hydrocracking processes are a serious concern for refiners. Comprehensive, real-time temperature monitoring is critical to preventing runaways, which is why most hydrocrackers across the world are equipped with Gayesco Flex-R ® multipoint …
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 …
