CORRESTAT™ 5410

CORRESTAT™ 5410

Many  process streams cannot be measured accurately with standard  off-the-shelf electrostatic monitoring technology products. LexMar  Global offers the unique Correstat™ 5410 electrostatic monitoring technology allowing for the measurement of two-phase mass flow in non-conductive media.

The Correstat™ 5410 electrostatic probe monitors conditions within gas phase reactors. The electrostatic  monitor measures charge imbalances within the reactor chamber. With the electrostatic charge measurements provided by the Correstat™ 5410 in real-time, process stability can be improved and shutdowns avoided.

This electrostatic probe is installed directly into the reactor. It  can be customized to fit into existing ports or nozzles with standard flanged connections. It is available in either an integral or remote probe and electronics configuration, to allow for a variety of process requirements.

BENEFITS

  • Real-time indication of charge buildup in gas phase reactors
  • Avoidance of reactor shutdowns caused by sheeting and agglomeration events
  • Sensitivity ranges from pA to μA for optimum performance across varying conditions
  • Feedback enables optimization of reactor conditions
  • Simultaneous multi-parameter monitoring and DCS reporting via 4–20mA outputs
ADVANTAGES
  • Compact one-piece design (remote electronics version also available)
  • Custom-designed probe for easy, low-cost installation into existing port
  • No maintenance or spare parts required
  • Enhanced safety, needs no nitrogen purging
  • Real-time bipolar measurement
  • User selectable output range and smoothing settings
PROVEN RELIABILITY

The Correstat™ 5410 sensor is engineered to operate continuously 24 hours per day, seven days per week. It is designed for the harsh environment of fluidized bed reactors, requiring no maintenance or spare parts. Unlike traditional electrostatic probes, the Correstat sensor measures current. This keeps the potential of the active probe tip under 1 volt—compared to nearly 10 kV from traditional probes.
