The performance of chemical processes not only depends on the size of the plant but also on factors such as quality, availability, safety and yield. Rarely two chemical plants are identical and even the production process for the same chemical product can differ considerablyin different cases.

Other important aspects include minimal energy consumption and material use, the reduction of waste and chemical byproducts as well as lowering of the cost of ownership. Quick, safe and simple start up and shut down of the process as well as partial load operation are also in demand.

And this is often required under extreme environmental conditions, the likes of which are rarely seen in other industries. Ideally, this is achieved using superior and precise measurement and control technology, which in turn is based on innovative measuring and analysis methods.

As an “early adopter”, the chemical industry relies on state-of-the-art technologies which need to be extremely robust and durable. In specialised test centers (e.g. with NAMUR-Members) and in practical field experience the instruments are additionally tested and verified by the users. As Main Instrumentation Vendor (MIV), KROHNE offers you a wide range of products which includes virtually every technologically significant measuring process and is specifically designed for universal use in the chemical and petrochemical industry.
