Density measurement for resid hydrocrackers

Level and density measurement on Resid Hydrocracker reactors. The resid hydrocracking process is becoming more and more attractive to refiners as it allows a higher conversion rate than other heavy oil conversion processes. It is used to crack heavy fractions to achieve lighter and more valuable products. Resid hydrocrackers are challenging to operate due to the complex set of reaction vessels, catalyst handling and separating units, and elevated temperatures and pressures in the presence of hydrogen. Radiometric measurements from Berthold offer enhanced control for these units, and provide additional insight into the process that can be used to increase production.

Continuous level - Non-contacting measurement

Non-contacting measurement technology by Berthold. The level measurement technology by Berthold is used in a variety of industrial sectors – ranging from the chemical to the waste water industry. It is suitable for measuring ranges of just a few millimetres up to several metres. Applications are ...
Interface and Multiphase Level Measurement

Radiometric measurements from Berthold. The radiometric measurement systems from Berthold are used to localize the interface layer between two phases. These systems are even used in more complex processes to measure the density profile and thereby picturing the heights of the different product layers ...
Interface measurement in desalters

Interface measurements in desalters are often regarded as not being very critical, even though every drop of oil, to be refined, passes through the desalter. As refineries try to maximize their margins, so-called opportunity crudes are often used. These crude oils generally contain increased levels of ...
Optimal monitoring of separation processes

Monitoring interfaces or multiple layers in process vessels poses some challenges for the measurement technologies. Where other measuring methods fail and cannot withstand extreme process conditions, radiometric measuring systems can provide reliable results. Berthold’s radiometric measurement systems ...
Level control in coking units

You want to improve the utilization of the drum capacity? Due to the conditions in the coke drum, a level measurement is a very challenging task. Where other measuring technologies tend to fail or end up being extremely unreliable, Berthold‘s radiometric level technology is ideal for monitoring the ...
