Pressure gauges in the petrochemical industry

Pressure gauges play a crucial role in the petrochemical industry. Accurate pressure measurements are essential for the safety, efficiency, and reliability of various processes involved in the processing of crude oil and natural gas into chemical products. This industry encompasses a wide range of chemical processes, and pressure gauges are extensively used in these applications. The processes in the petrochemical industry are not without risks, partly due to the high flammability of various end products. At EMVO Techniek, you will find suitable pressure gauges for all conditions.

Applications of pressure gauges in the petrochemical industry

Pressure measurements in piping systems: Pressure gauges are used to measure the pressure in piping systems for the transport of crude oil, natural gas, and various chemical products within petrochemical facilities. Process monitoring in refineries: In refineries, crude oil is converted into various fuels and chemical products. Our pressure gauges are used to monitor pressure levels in various processes such as distillation columns, crackers, and reactors.
Pressure regulation in chemical reactors: In chemical reactors, where raw materials are transformed into desired chemical products, pressure gauges are vital for regulating pressure conditions to optimize reaction efficiency.
Control of steam generators: Steam is often a crucial component of petrochemical processes. Pressure gauges are used to measure and control the pressure in steam generators and distribution systems.
Pressure measurements in storage tanks: Raw materials and end products are stored in large storage tanks. Pressure gauges help monitor the pressure in tanks where liquid substances are stored.
Safety measures: Safety is a significant concern in the petrochemical industry. Safety systems, of which pressure gauges are a part, ensure that pressure levels are monitored and kept within safe limits. They also play a role in detecting deviations in pressure that may indicate potential issues in the system.
Maintenance and diagnostics: Pressure gauges are valuable for maintenance purposes and diagnosing problems in systems. Deviations in pressure measurements can signal various issues, such as leaks or blockages.
