Case Study: WIKA Equips Syngas Plant with Long-Lasting Thermocouples

At a Texas-based syngas plant, the thermocouples in its partial oxidation units were lasting an average of three months before failing. But after switching to WIKA’s TC84 platinum thermocouple with sapphire protection tube, the facility has not had to replace its …

Partial Oxidation (POX) Reactions Pose Challenges for Thermocouples and Other Measuring Instruments

Alina Green | Applications, Temperature

The extreme temperatures and high concentration of hydrogen in partial oxidation (POX) reactors create a harsh environment for measuring instruments that are not equipped to handle such challenges. Partial oxidation (POX), the initial process of turning crude …
