After a convincing long-term test, TOTAL Raffinerie Mitteldeutschland GmbH now very successfully applies the fibre-optical trace moisture measurement instrument HYGROPHIL F 5672 made by BARTEC in order to protect the moisture-sensitive catalysts within the reactor of the reformer plant. Compared to the aluminium oxide sensors used so far, this new solution offers some decisive advantages in terms of long-term stability and reproducibility and it provides improved plant safety and availability.
