Temperature profiling in hazardous environments
Installation and use of temperature profiling instruments in oil & gas, refining and petrochemical
Individual temperature sensors can be quickly replaced.
Measuring temperature across a process unit—such as a furnace, desalter, hydrofiner, fixedbed reactor or hydrocracker in refineries, or similar process units in chemical plants—leads to improved process control, increased catalyst life, more efficient production, fewer process upsets, and decreased emissions.

Summary
Known as temperature profiling, this technique allows acquisition of temperature data from multiple sensors, then transmits the data to an automation system where control and monitoring software analyzes the data and takes action. This article covers the sensing devices used to acquire temperature profile data..
