In the chemical industry, precise temperature control is crucial to ensuring efficient, safe, and cost-effective operations. Chemical processes often require heat to be transferred between substances in ways that prevent thermal damage, promote chemical reactions, and maintain safety standards. Shell and tube heat exchangers (STHEs) are widely used in these applications, offering efficient heat ...
A primary component to the production of xylene is the isolation and purification of the chemical from a complex mixture of petroleum hydrocarbons. Steam based heat exchangers are used to process the xylene. Inherent to the design and rough duty heat exchangers face during their operation, leaks can and do ...
The Problem The plant needed to be able to reuse the water to reduce its energy and water filtration costs. The paper plant looked for a leak detector to quickly indicate when the lubrication oil coolers leak. ...
The plant needed to be able to reuse the water to reduce their energy and water filtration costs. The Paper plant looked for a leak detector to quickly indicate when the lube oil coolers leak. Samples of the target oil were analyzed to determine if fluorescence could quickly measure the oil at less than 1 part per million. The Solution With a TD-1000C and a ...
