The industrial-scale production of HDO is a continuous process that involves the catalytic hydrogenation of organic precursors under high pressure. To efficiently manage this process and dissipate excess heat from the reactor, a portion of the product is continually recirculated through return lines. Monitoring this heat transfer is crucial, and it is integrated into the safety instrumented system (SIS). Flexim clamp-on ultrasonic transducers are mounted externally to the pipeline, eliminating the need for direct contact with the medium and exposure to high pressure. A patented high-temperature mounting for these ultrasonic transducers was employed to address the challenges posed by extreme process temperatures. A notable challenge is the wide temperature range, which requires reliable coverage. Measurements were therefore carried out on two channels to ensure they worked reliably in all possible operating conditions. Additionally, the signal strength from these measurements is integrated into the process control system as a diagnostic parameter. As an integral component of the safety instrumented system, regular checks are conducted to validate measurements and document their operational reliability. #chemicalindustry #chemicalengineering #flexim #emerson

𝐆𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 of compressed #ethylene at the inlet of #LDPE reactors is a valuable tool to verify and monitor the performance of the process. The ability to measure volumetric or mass flow of high-pressure ethylene opens new insights for process control and mass balancing. The high pressures required of over 𝟏𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐛𝐚𝐫 (21750 psi) are characteristic of the polymerization processes of low-density #polyethylene. In view of the challenging process conditions, a LDPE #plantoperator in #Japan specifically searched for a measuring solution that does not require any intervention in the piping system. Any installation that presents a risk of leakage should be avoided if possible. In their research for non-invasive flow measurement technology, the process engineers almost automatically came across #FLEXIM. A particular practical advantage of non-intrusive measurement with clamp-on ultrasonic technology is that it can be thoroughly tested for its actual suitability for the measurement task without any disruption to normal plant operation before deciding to purchase. In comparison with the clamp-on ultrasonic systems from other manufacturers, the portable gas flowmeter G608 from came out on top. As a result, the LDPE plant operator decided to replace maintenance intensive inline flow meters with 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐦 𝐆𝟖𝟑𝟏 ultrasonic systems. Due to the convincing experience with the clamp-on ultrasonic flow measurements, 𝟔 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 #𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫 have now been instrumented. The acoustic measurement technology is characterized by its extraordinary dynamics, which now make it possible to record the start-up and shut-down phases of the system. In addition to 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥, the flow measurements also offer the possibility of 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 #𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 by providing important 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.
