High temperatures are required in almost all plants in the chemical and petrochemical industry to produce final or intermediate products from raw materials. In most cases, superheated steam is used for this purpose and is generated by process heaters. The figure below shows such a plant schematic with a process heater that delivers steam to a double-walled reactor vessel where the production process performs at high temperatures.

Use of gas analysis for e.g.

• Optimum adjustment of the burner (Fuel saving and emission reduction)
• Monitoring emission concentrations (compliance with regulations)

Measuring point locations and analysis tasks

• MP 1 at the burner for fuel composition control
• MP 2 behind the burner for burner optimization (energy cost reduction)
• MP 3 at the stack for emission monitoring (compliance with regulations)
