Measuring water impurities in EDC and other key hydrocarbon processing applications Ethylene dichloride (EDC) is a key intermediate in the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production process, and requires accurate, reliable gas analysis to overcome process issues such as condensation and corrosion.
Ryan Cumpston, AMETEK Process Instruments, US, explains why moisture analysis is crucial in the natural gas industry to prevent disruptions, infrastructure damage, and quality issues.
Sulfur recovery unit (SRU) processes can be difficult to manage and require significant skill, concentration, and dedication. Analytical gas measurements in the SRU help to ensure reliable, efficient, and safe operations, and help users to manage the SRU process more effectively.
For refineries and chemical processing plants, water management is becoming increasingly important. One critical priority in many regions is making the most of lower-quality water sources, which requires innovative treatment programs.
Carbon steel is the most widely used material for piping systems and components across diverse manufacturing and industrial settings such as power plants, oil refineries, and petrochemical plants. However, the interior and exterior surfaces of carbon steel pipes tend to corrode over time, regardless of their environment. Regular inspection of this corrosion is necessary to assess and monitor pipe integrity, preventing potential critical failures.
