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 …
Accuracy and Response Times for Thermocouples, Thermowells and Other Temperature Instruments for Syngas Plants
| Robert Torgerson | Know-howEach temperature measurement system on the market has its particular features and limitations. When deciding which ones to use in syngas plant reactors, it is important to take into account the response times, accuracy, and other specifications of thermocouples, …
WIKA’s Cut-to-Length RTD Sensor Minimizes Downtime, Saves Money
| Adam DeLancey | TemperatureRTD sensors are robust temperature measurement devices used in many applications across multiple industries. However, like any other industrial instrumentation, they will fail – regardless of their robustness or the environment – after years of service. WIKA …
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 …
