WIKA Thermocouple Verification During Catalyst Changes Saves Refineries Time and Money
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureHaving an accurate temperature profile of reactors can alert operators of small problems before they become large ones. However, the process of checking thermocouples usually requires significant downtime and, thus, expense. WIKA’s Multipoint Thermocouple …
Thermocouple Replacement: Knowing When It’s Time to Upgrade a Syngas Reactor’s Temperature Sensors
Robert Torgerson | TemperatureAdvancements in thermocouple assemblies allow syngas plants to easily update their temperature measurement solutions for low temperature shift (LTS) applications. With improved monitoring of catalyst activity, syngas plants can maximize catalyst life and better plan …
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 …
Using Temperature Measurement to Monitor Performance and Startup in Steam Methane Reformers
Robert Torgerson | Know-howTo produce hydrogen for industrial use, syngas (synthesis gas) plants all over the world use steam methane reformers (SMR). Temperature measurement and monitoring is key to performance and safety, especially during the potentially dangerous startup process. A steam …
