What are the Challenges in Pressure and Flow Monitoring?
Monitoring pressure and flow in catalytic processes presents several challenges:
1. High-Temperature and High-Pressure Conditions: Catalytic reactions often occur under extreme conditions, requiring sensors that can withstand harsh environments. 2. Corrosive and Abrasive Fluids: Some catalytic processes involve aggressive chemicals that can damage conventional sensors, necessitating the use of specialized materials. 3. Rapid Changes in Process Conditions: Catalytic reactions can exhibit sudden changes in pressure and flow, demanding sensors with fast response times and high accuracy. 4. Fouling and Blockages: Accumulation of reactants or by-products can lead to fouling or blockages in sensors, affecting their performance and reliability.
