CORREFLOW™ 5430 

CORREFLOW™ 5430

The Correflow™ 5430 sensor monitors catalyst flow within gas phase catalyst feed lines.  These sensors monitor catalyst pulses and flow changes allowing plant operators to take appropriate action to avoid upsets.

With real-time feedback from electrostatic catalyst charge measurements, process continuity can be improved and problems avoided.

The Correflow™ 5430 ring sensor is installed directly in the catalyst feedline. The sensor ID can be customized to fit existing lines. The Correflow™ 5430 is provided in either integral or remote configurations to allow for a variety of process and mounting requirements.

PRODUCT BENEFITS

  • Improved reactor reliability
  • Improved product quality
  • Faster direct response to catalyst changes
  • No maintenance or spare part requirement

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

  • Compact custom design to meet any process requirement
  • Easy low-cost installation
  • Intrinsically safe design
  • Approved by leading gas phase process technologies

REAL-TIME CATALYST FEED MEASUREMENT

The Correflow™ 5430 sensor directly measures catalyst as it feeds into a reactor. The system provides a robust, non-contact measurement of catalyst conveyed by gas or solvent. Polymer manufacturers have substantially improved reaction control using the Correflow for instant detection of catalyst blockages or blow-by to ensure polymer production efficiency and shutdown avoidance.
