(OPENPRESS) July 1, 2011 -- METTLER TOLEDO has announced an on-demand webinar, How pH Measurement Reduces Maintenance in Petroleum Processes. The webinar explains the importance of pH in refining and how new technology can lower maintenance costs as well as reduce chemical consumption.
Measuring pH in petroleum refining processes is vital for corrosion protection, and in several processes pH is an important control parameter. However, when it comes to reliability, many pH analyzers have a poor track record in refinery applications and are therefore often ignored, which leads to downstream fouling and corrosion. The resulting downtime due to equipment failure and the uncontrolled consumption of chemicals can severely affect profits.
This 30-minute webinar explains how new pH measurement technology can help with process optimization, thereby lowering chemical consumption and reducing corrosion. The presenter also explains how this new technology leads to higher operational availability of pH measurement points and significantly lowers maintenance costs. Additionaly, there is an explanation of how automated pH cleaning and calibration systems enable reliable measurement in the harshest refinery process environments.
If you are a Refinery Process Engineer, Analyser (QA) Engineer, Instrumentation Engineer or Project Engineer you will benefit from this presentation.
