Thermometers in the process industry

In the process industry, raw materials or semi-finished products are transformed into final products through physical, chemical, or biological processes. This can encompass the chemical industry, as well as the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, or food industry, and other production environments where continuous or batch processes are applied. Thermometers play a crucial role in measuring and regulating temperatures at various stages of these production processes.

Thermometers for process monitoring and control

Thermometers are used to measure and control temperature in various process steps. This is essential for optimizing chemical reactions, ensuring product quality, and maintaining the efficiency of industrial processes. These processes occur in many phases of the production trajectory, including:

• Heat exchangers: Thermometers are used in the process industry to transfer heat between different media. They measure the input and output temperatures of these media, optimizing the efficiency of heat exchangers.
• Distillation columns: In distillation processes, for example in petrochemicals, thermometers measure temperatures at different heights in a distillation column. This aids in separating components based on their boiling points.
• Sterilization and pasteurization processes: In pharmaceuticals and the food industry, thermometers are used to control temperatures during sterilization and pasteurization processes, crucial for ensuring the microbial safety of products.
• Oven and drying processes: Thermometers in ovens and drying installations measure the temperature of the treated material, important for controlling the drying or baking process and preventing overheating.
• Storage tanks: Thermometers are often used to measure the temperature in storage tanks for liquid products, such as chemicals or fuels. This helps manage storage conditions and prevent unwanted reactions.
