Multipoint Thermocouple Assemblies: Not Just for Fixed Bed Reactors
Robert Torgerson | ApplicationsRefineries rely on multipoint thermocouples to monitor temperature at different points inside fixed-bed reactors. However, these temperature measurement systems are also extremely useful for evaluating performance in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units, vapor …
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 …
Temperature, Pressure, and Flow Measurement for Monitoring Performance in Power Plant Turbines
Ravi Jethra | ApplicationsFlow measurement, along with measuring temperature and pressure, are critical for optimal operation in gas and steam turbines. If these parameters do not stay within appropriate ranges, a power plant will suffer from issues with safety, performance, and efficiency. …
ASME BPE Study Leads to New Recommendations to Help Prevent Process Contamination
Patrick McGrath | Applications, PressureWIKA inline diaphragm seals and flow-through thermowells either reduce or eliminate dead legs where bacterial or fungal contamination can develop in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Process engineers know for decades that “dead legs” in piping and …
