1. Gas Analyzers
Gas analyzers are essential for monitoring the composition and purity of gases produced in the coal chemical process. They help in detecting and quantifying components such as CO, CO2, CH4, H2, and other gases. Gas analyzers are crucial for process optimization, safety, and environmental monitoring.
2. Flow Meters
Flow meters measure the flow rate of gases, liquids, and sometimes solids (as in pulverized coal). Different types of flow meters, including mass flow meters, vortex flow meters, and differential pressure flow meters, are used depending on the specific application. Accurate flow measurement is critical for process control and efficiency.
3. Pressure Transmitters
Pressure transmitters are used to measure the pressure of gases and liquids in reactors, pipelines, and storage tanks. Monitoring pressure is essential for process safety and efficiency, especially in high-pressure reactions common in coal chemical processes.
4. Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors, such as industrial thermocouples and RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors), are used to measure the temperature of processes and equipment. Temperature control is vital for reaction kinetics, product quality, and equipment safety.
5. Level Transmitters
Level transmitters measure the level of liquids and solids in tanks, hoppers, and silos. Technologies used include radar, ultrasonic, and differential pressure measurement. Accurate level measurement is crucial for inventory management, process control, and safety.
