Refinery

Temperature measurement is one of the most abundant process variables measured within a refinery environment.

Temperature profiling using fiber optic elements provides a safe. unique tool to deliver key data.

Extreme temperatures subject the asset to to high stress levels requiring continuous monitoring and information provision.

Such a solution is capable of solving challenging problems including vessel and pipeline profiling, trace heating efficiency monitoring, heat exchanger thermal distribution analysis, flow assurance for bitumen, sulphur pipelines, Claus reactor shell temperature monitoring where discrete temperature elements are both expensive and impractical to install. 

Early detection and the ability to pinpoint a potential link will improve employee safety, reduce downtime, and minimise losses.

Being a solid state glass fiber element and having no electrical components in the field, the Sensa system is particularly suited for hazardous environments.

The fiber can be fitted to new plant and retro fitted to existing assets to enable delivery of  thermal profiles using our bespoke modelling software application.

Sensa Distributed Temperature monitoring systems are covered by all major approvals that would be expected within the Process Industry arena such as ATEX, SIL, CSA, UL providing peace of mind that Sensa hold a solution for many difficult applications.
