The most heavily produced organic compound worldwide, ethylene is obtained industrially by steam cracking, which involves heating gaseous or light liquid hydrocarbons to temperatures ranging from 750-950oC (1382-1742oF).
Real-time thermal analysis is required for process control and to monitor the condition of the cracker furnace. This requires accurate, non-contact solutions that are capable of tolerating high temperatures.
Using our extensive industry experience and knowledge, AMETEK Land has developed dedicated solutions for furnace measurements in hydrocarbon processing. We provide proven measurement solutions for both periodic and continuous temperature monitoring.
