Troubleshooting Distillation Columns: Lessons Learned
Wednesday, April 4, 2012 - 10:00am to 10:30am
Ultrasound technology is already well accepted for the determination of in-pipe flow rates. GE Sensing and Fractionation Research Inc are presently performing R&D work to demonstrate other possibilities with this technology. Efforts are underway to attempt to measure liquid entrainment (non-invasively) in the vapor product nozzle of an industrial size kettle reboiler. Also, real time density measurements are being used on two processing lines to determine (non-invasively) compositions and composition changes. These technologies could eventually bring appreciable benefits to operators of chemical plants and refineries.
