Alarm systems in catalysis can be classified into several types based on their function and response mechanism:
Warning Alarms: These alarms provide an early indication of potential issues, allowing operators to take preventive measures before a critical situation arises. Critical Alarms: These alarms indicate a more severe deviation from normal conditions that requires immediate attention to prevent damage or safety hazards. Shutdown Alarms: In extreme cases, these alarms trigger an automatic shutdown of the reactor or process to prevent catastrophic failures or accidents.
