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 …
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 …
