Eliminate heat exchanger fouling with Watlow’s HELIMAX technology

Fluctuations within the heat exchanger to either the operating temperature or the mass flow rate are common causes of coking, which can lead to system failures and expensive downtime. Some heat exchanger design methods, like segmental baffles, have known dead zones where hot spots can occur, accelerating the coking process. Watlow’s HELIMAX ultra-efficient heat exchanger was designed to eliminate temperature-related failures. Leveraging our proven, patent-pending continuous ...

LO-CAT® II process for chemical plant desulfurization

KRONOS’ facility in Leverkusen, Germany produces titanium dioxide, the most important material used by the paints and plastics industry for whiteness and opacity. When new German guidelines set maximum emission limits for SO2 in 1989, KRONOS was required to eliminate the COS from the off-gas at their titanium dioxide production facility to meet the new requirements. Complicating this application, the COS removal process that KRONOS needed had to be built in an area with other ...

The Refinery of the Future

This change toward more integrated complexes already has begun. As recently as five years ago, roughly 15 percent of new CCR PlatformingTM units were designed for petrochemicals production. Today, that number has risen to nearly 70 percent. New integrated complexes in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and China — where GDP growth is highest — are being designed to convert as much as two-thirds of their feedstock into petrochemicals. No two complexes will have the same solution, ...

Improve precision for SIMDIS using ‘light solvent optimized’ agilent model 7693 automatedliquid sampler

There are many factors affecting GC data precision. Sample introduction parameters are amongst the most critical. A factor easily overlooked is the temperature of the sample and its variances over time in relation to the solvent used. Environmental conditions and heat patterns around the ALS can easily become major contributing factors to performance when very light solvents are used. In Simulated Distillation analyses, heated zones are typically ramped to temperatures above ...
