pH, ORP and Conductivity Measurements in Condensate

Isobutane and propane dehydrogenation is an important process for recovering butylene and propylene from liquid natural gas. They are used as feedstocks for e.g. plastics, lubricants, paints, rubber products or for additives. The process itself is closely monitored, using pH, redox and conductivity measurements. Monitoring of the condensate is particularly important here, as this allows direct conclusions to be drawn about the process itself. Mineral deposits interfere with heat transfer in the system, pH monitoring controls the addition of the phosphonate-based inhibitor and ORP measurement monitors the chlorine content in the condensate to prevent bacterial growth. 

Challenges 

  • Installation in hazardous area (Ex) 
  • Installation in pipes with small diameter 
  • Regular maintenance of the measuring loops necessary

Why Knick ?
By using Memosens sensors, which are pre-calibrated, the time spent in the process unit and thus the maintenance costs have been significantly reduced. The high quality of the fittings, sensors, and transmitters proved the components robust to the H2S environment. The accuracy, availability and reliability of the measurements helped reduce chemical consumption due to better process controllers/p>
