Hydrocracker
Density measurement in the hydrocracker
Process data
    Measuring task:
    
    Density measurement
        Measuring point:
    
    Vertical cylinder
        Measuring range up to:
    
    25 m
        Medium:
    
    Heavy crude and residues
        Process temperature:
    
    +230 … +480 °C
        Process pressure:
    
    +25 … +75 bar
        Special challenges:
    
    Very thick-walled reactor, high pressure, high temperature
Application
Heavy oil residues are processed in the hydrocracker, such as atmospheric and vacuum residue. Fresh catalyst is continuously added and used catalyst is withdrawn, enabling product quality over time. To promote safe and efficient heavy oil processing, a reliable measurement and density profiling is needed for control of critical process stages.
