Due to the nature of high temperature processes, those operating above 200°C, some older model LFL Systems have a life expectancy of 10-15 years. In critical applications like these, it is essential to ensure that the LFL System is up to date and fully operational, if not, it might be time for an upgrade.
There are 2 common areas of the LFL System that are often affected by the inherent demands of running a process at high temperatures:
Safety directives from various agencies have changed over the years to reflect the many scientific advances we have made as a society for our workforce, the environment, and a company’s facility. That’s why its essential to make sure that your current LFL system is operating up to code and under the safest conditions possible.
Last week we discussed the age of an LFL system, now let’s focus our upgrade discussion on another important issue that effects the efficiency and productivity of your system.
Last week we raised the question of how old is too old for an LFL system, specifically is your system 15 years or older?
With the New Year fast approaching it’s a great time to reflect on the past while looking to make changes to better your future; whether it’s a bad habit you’re trying to break or a good deed you’re trying to incorporate into your everyday life. It’s also a good time to look at the safety and sustainability of your company’s application and facility.
Take a look at your LFL system to see if something can be done to improve its productivity and ultimately, its future.
Speed and safety are an unlikely pair in everyday life but in the manufacturing industry they often go hand-in-hand. Specifically, the speed of response when measuring hazardous gases and vapors.
Safety. I know it seems like we are always talking about it. Everything we write or reference mentions it. In fact our company was founded all those years ago because of it. We care that much about it. Keeping your personnel and facility SAFE is our #1 goal. Productivity, sustainability, energy savings, it all ultimately begins & ends with your application being safe.
The perfect wrap up to our conversation on monitoring a chemical facility... our Energy Savings, Efficiency and Reliability presentation at this year's CHEM SHOW in NYC, December 10-12.
REGISTER HERE for the presentation at the conference.
In preparation for our presentation at the CHEM SHOW in NYC (December 10-12) let's continue our conversation on the chemical industry. Last week we talked about the hazards facing a chemical facility and how to properly monitor them. This week let's focus on controlling those plant emissions.
Since we are presenting at the CHEM Show in NYC in a couple weeks (December 10-12), let's start a discussion on monitoring in a chemical facility.
