This month we've been comparing FTA vs Catalytic for process applications...now let's see it in action!
A customer of ours who produces high performance materials, industrial specialty chemicals and coating solutions, was using a catayltic sensor where a flammability analzyer would be more beneficial.
Our discussion with Debra Hall, our Director of Sales, on Competitive Displacement in flammability Monitoring continues this week (read Part 1
Being safe. Check. Saving Energy. Check. Lowering Fuels Costs? Let's discuss how this too can be checked off our list of achievements that come from adding an LFL Analyzer to your oxidizer.
Last week we discussed installing an area monitoring sensor system to monitor for Hydrogen, let’s look at what exactly they can offer:
We've talked about why it's important to use Hydrogen in conjunction with your LFL Analyzer and how Hydrogen has been used commercially for many years with great results, but your still unsure about its use in your plant.&nbs
As we say goodbye 2014 , here are a few thoughts from Debra Hall, our Sales Director:
"As we take this time to reflect on the 2014 year, I would like to say “Thank You” to all of our customers, employees and readers for giving us all another year of great memories, fantastic stories and allowing us to make a difference in the lives of you all!
Flare stacks are often used to dispose of the waste products from batch chemical processes. Their waste streams may contain many components such as ethylene, propylene, natural gas, mineral spirits, ethyl acetate, ethanol, hydrogen, isobutyl acetate and isobutanol, to name a few. Not only are these streams complex but the production units are often high-volume continuous processes that operate 24 hours, seven days a week. On top of these intense conditions is the fact that you must also meet certain state and federal regulations.
Measuring the calorific value of mixed gaseous fuels can be difficult. These complex mixtures of combustible and non-combustible gases and vapors can vary in concentration or composition over time due to changing conditions. Perhaps it is the rate of change or a wide range of water vapor at different process temperatures. Maybe the combustibles vary widely in composition under different process conditions.
Last week we discussed the key charateristics of an analyzer for a flare stack application, now let's focus on the conditions of that environment. Debra Hall, our Director of Sales, points out that adapting to these trends is the key to successful monitoring:
