Non-Intrusive Temperature Measurement in Distillation Columns

Non-intrusive process temperature instrumentation is installed without a shutdown and meets SIL requirements

Non-Intrusive Temperature Measurement in Distillation Columns

Highly Accurate Process Temperature Without a Thermowell

Distillation columns are critical industrial vessels designed to separate liquid mixtures. The risk of severe hazards often creates the need for SIL rated temperature devices to meet safety requirements. There is a highly complex process for conducting proof tests on distillation columns, and it is critical to minimize time between shutdowns to avoid process downtime. Rosemount™ X-well™ Technology with the Rosemount 3144S Temperature Transmitter delivers highly accurate process temperature without a thermowell or process penetration on applications measuring up to 650°C. This device is non-intrusive, allowing for easy installation without a shutdown or waiting until a turnaround. Non-intrusive measurement also minimizes the chance of an instrument failure in the first place. When paired with the Rosemount 3144S, operators can easily conduct proof tests using an easy, step-by-step process with guided proof testing and get fast and error-free configuration with the push of a button.
