Application areas:
In refineries, TRICONEX 2401 is an important component of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS). It continuously monitors key parameters, such as the pressure inside pipelines transporting flammable crude oil. For example, if the pressure suddenly increases due to blockage or pump failure in the pipeline, TRICONEX2401can quickly detect this deviation. Once detected, it can trigger an emergency stop (ESD) based on pre programmed safety logic. This real-time operation can prevent potential disasters such as pipeline rupture, which could otherwise trigger large-scale fires, explosions, and serious environmental pollution. In natural gas processing plants, it controls the complex process of separating and purifying natural gas. It monitors variables such as gas composition, temperature, and flow rate in real-time. Once there is a deviation from the optimal operating conditions, TRICONEX2401 will immediately handle it to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the factory.

Chemical reactions are often very subtle and require precise control to ensure product quality and safety. TRICONEX 2401is integrated into the control system of chemical plants for monitoring key parameters. It tracks the concentration of reactants inside the reactor. If the concentration of a certain chemical substance is too high or too low, it may disrupt the reaction and cause dangerous situations. TRICONEX2401 is capable of detecting these changes and taking corrective measures, such as adjusting the flow rate of raw materials or shutting down certain parts of the reaction process. It also monitors the temperature and pH value of chemical mixtures. In processes where temperature control is crucial, such as polymer production, TRICONEX2401 ensures that the reaction temperature is maintained within the desired range.
