Process data
Measuring task:
Level measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Vertical column
Measuring range up to:
20 m
Medium:
Liquid distillate naphtha
Process temperature:
+230 … +400 °C
Process pressure:
+20 … +60 bar
Special challenges:
High process temperature
Application
Platformers and reformers, both catalyst-based processes, require “fresh” catalyst at a given point in their cycle. To provide fresh catalyst without shutting down the process, a continuous catalyst regeneration unit can be installed. This unit regenerates the spent catalyst so that it can be used again. Maintaining the proper level in the vessel ensures that the expensive catalyst is used at the highest level of efficiency without waste.
