The China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, also known as Sinopec, is the world’s second biggest chemical company by revenue. Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic) is the fifth. In 2009, the two corporations established a joint-venture to create the Sinopec Sabic Tianjin Petrochemical Plant, a world-scale petrochemical facility located near Tianjin, China. The site produces products including ethylene, polypropylene, butadiene, and phenol. The plant was having challenges with fighting corrosion and deposition and discovered they could reduce these issues with dependable, intelligent pH and conductivity monitoring systems from METTLER TOLEDO.
Topics covered in the success story include:
- Controlling recirculated water quality
- Why high performance analytical sensors are key
- Combined pH/ORP sensors reduce number of measurement points
- Why intelligent sensors brings major gains
- One conductivity sensor type for many applications
METTLER TOLEDO offers various solutions for fighting corrosion and monitoring a range of critical analytical parameters, such as pH and conductivity. They can help with fighting corrosion and deposition in chemical production facilities.
For pH measurement, the InPro 3250i probe is the most suitable. It is a pre-pressurized, liquid electrolyte sensor that delivers fast and accurate measurements in harsh process conditions.
InPro 3250i is equipped with Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM®), which monitors probe “health” and predicts when calibration, cleaning and replacement should be performed.
For conductivity measurement, UniCond® is an excellent choice, as it can measure from pure water to wastewater and industrial process fluids.
For use with InPro 3250i and UniCond sensors, the M800 is a very suitable transmitter. It is a multi-parameter, multi-channel unit with ISM, which offers the highest installation flexibility and, with its color touchscreen, excellent ease of use.
