  What are the Benefits of Measuring Reformer Tube Wall Temperatures?

  Monday, November 11, 2019 | James Cross

  Application Products

  Monitoring tube wall temperatures (TWT) provides the maximum level of catalyst tube life to ensure energy efficiency and productivity. High temperatures inside the furnace can cause expansion of the tubes, or even catastrophic tube failure, along with creep damage, coke formation and process flow problems.

  How to Integrate our Pyrometers with IO-Link Communication Technology

  Wednesday, October 30, 2019 | Manfred Hayk

  Application Products

  IO-Link is a standardised IO technology (IEC 61131-9) for communication with sensors and also actuators. The powerful point-to-point communication is based on 3-wire sensor and actuator connection without additional requirements regarding the cable material.

  How To Ensure Consistent High-Quality Steel Strip Production

  Wednesday, October 16, 2019 | Peter Unwin

  Application Products

  Vertical furnaces are used for heat treating strip products in continuous processes such as continuous annealing lines (CAL) which are mostly used for stress relieving cold rolled advanced high strength steel (AHSS) for the automotive industry.

  Is there an alternative to an expensive wet-extractive PM monitor on a stack with a wet FGD?

  Wednesday, September 18, 2019 | Derek Stuart

  Application Products

  Modern coal-fired power plants use a range of methods to reduce the amount of pollution released to the atmosphere. Selective catalytic reduction is used to remove oxides of nitrogen (NOx), high-efficiency electrostatic precipitators remove particulate matter (PM) and wet flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) systems remove sulphur dioxide (SO2). An unfortunate side-effect of using a wet FGD is that the stack gases downstream are saturated with water drops. Consequently, typical instruments used for measuring PM emissions such as opacity monitors and in-situ light-scattering monitors cannot be used because they cannot distinguish between dust particles and water droplets.

  What is the best location to detect hot material on a coal or biomass conveyor?

  Monday, July 22, 2019 | Derek Stuart

  Products Application

  An infrared linescanner is an excellent tool for detecting potentially dangerous hot material on a conveyor belt. It works by repeatedly scanning across the width of the belt and using a calibrated infrared sensor to measure the temperature of the moving material. If it detects a hot inclusion such as a smouldering piece of coal, it can alert the process operator who can then take appropriate action. Such action could be to divert the material or to activate a deluge system.

  Why Service, Calibrate or Certify an Infrared Thermometer/Pyrometer?

  Monday, July 8, 2019 | Gary Wolstenholme

  Products Maintenance

  Thermometers by all manufactures can be subject to damage and deterioration over time. AMETEK Land thermometers/pyrometers are designed to be inherently stable while working in industrial environments, however many are operated continually with little or no maintenance after installation.

  Reducing emissions and at the same time increasing process efficiency – is it possible?

  Thursday, May 23, 2019 | John Gallucci

  Products Application

  Process operators are continuously under pressure to either reduce their emissions to the atmosphere or increase their process efficiency. Some people see these 2 factors as competing, but they don’t have to be.
