Plant Avoids Shutdowns, Saves $2.6 Million and 4320 Man- hours Using EmersonTM Smart Wireless RESULTS • Avoided four shutdowns over four years • Saved $2.6 million in production loss • Avoided safety and environmental incidents • Saved 4,320 man-hours in clean-up APPLICATION Measure critical reactor temperatures to avoid agglomeration causing shutdown in Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) plant CHALLENGE An LLDPE plant in India polymerizes ethylene in a fluidized bed reactor. Unfortunately, profile temperatures around critical zones of two 34- meter high reactors could not be made with conventional wiring due to the dense infrastructure surrounding the reactors. Temperature is critical to the polymerization process, and the plant was challenged by agglomerate formation which o
