Challenge: Chemical reactors need to operate as economically as possible, ensuring that the reaction proceeds with the highest efficacy towards the desired products, minimizing impurities and byproducts  -- all while keeping costs low.  And, above all, your chemical reactor needs to be safe and controllable.  Without the right measurement and automation strategy in place to give you insight into the critical process variables such as residence time, volume, temperature, pressure, composition, and heat transfer rate, keeping your process on track is a full-time job.

Solution: Emerson has the expertise and solutions to safely and optimally automate your critical reaction steps. Our team of experts can help you with all aspects of advanced process control, including loop and adaptive tuning, on-line optimization, and process analytics.  We offer several innovative solutions to monitor your key process variables, including Micro Motion mass flow meters for critical flows and multipoint temperature transmitters to trend temperature profiles and detect hotspots.  And because safety is always first and foremost on your mind, DeltaV SIS will keep you running safely should measurement devices fail, but safely shut down your reactor if necessary.
