State-of-the-art sensors for chemical plants ensure accurate measurements, increase operational efficiency and lower long-term maintenance costs
Outdated technology can compromise both production processes and availability. Older measuring technologies leveraging mechanical components are less accurate and require higher levels of maintenance than modern equivalents in order to ensure production. Investing today to replace old mechanical devices with innovative sensor technology will pay dividends in the long run, both in productivity gains and maintenance cost savings.

Applications
Measure polymerization viscosity efficiently
Viscosity is a crucial fluid property and a fundamental measurement parameter in polymerization process control. As a variable, it can be used to monitor product quality. Older viscosity measuring devices using mechanical components require regular maintenance to ensure filters are kept clear and production is running.
Our expertise in the field
The Endress+Hauser Coriolis Promass I flowmeter offers multiple benefits over older mechanical devices for peak performance at reduced operational costs.
No filter required, meaning significant time and cost savings in maintenance with sustained process performance and safety
Optimize product quality with a single measuring point. In-line multivariable measurement of flow, density, temperature and viscosity
Minimize pressure loss with a straight, single-tube design
In Olefin, quenching pH measurement of the contaminated quench water at regular intervals can go a long way to helping prevent fouling in the bottom of the tower. Cleaning sensors at least every other day is required, a time-consuming and labor-intensive activity which, if left undone, can result in their needing to be replaced every two weeks.
Our expertise in the field
The Endress+Hauser Liquiline CDC90 extends the lifetime of your sensor more than thirtyfold.
Save time with in-process cleaning and calibration with no electrode removal necessary
Spur efficiency with self-diagnostic systems such as sensor conditioning checks
Foster safety for people and processes as no handling of contaminated water is needed
Use of old, magnetic level gauge devices during olefin fractionation in high-temperature environments can reduce safety and result in unreliable measurements. Moreover, unplanned shutdowns can occur if the temperature gets too high.
A reliable pH measurement at regular intervals of the quenching water requires cleaning of the sensor at least every other day, which takes up a great deal of effort in terms of time and people.
Decreased process control creates unreliable fractionation – for example, remote control cannot be done with outdated technology for level measurement.
