Gamma scanning is a technology management tool to increase manufacturing efficiency. Modern industrial production requires strict process control, in order to meet established quality standards. The technique of gamma-ray scanning allows nondestructive diagnosis, which has among its applications the study of distillation columns. The method is based on the different degree of attenuation of...

308. A New Method for Detecting Trace Oil Concentration by Neutron Radiography Technique

RADIATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR MEASUREMENT

Oral

Modern Neutron Imaging (NI) facility in the ETRR-2 provided precise information for detection of trace oil concentration in cultural heritage treasures. The presence of high scattered oil materials distorted the neutron radiography quantitative measurements and caused blurred images. This work presented a new technique in precise quantitative measurement and calibration. The technique was...

437. Leaks Determinations in Reboilers from Natural Liquid Fractioning Units

RADIATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR MEASUREMENT

Oral

INTRODUCTION In recent years, IPEN has developed various techniques based on the application of tracers and radiation sources to solve problems operating facilities oil refining and gas. The objective of the experiments was to identify leaks and passes in reboilers, either thermal fluid or hydrocarbon products in the reboiler of a depropanizer column, in the reboiler of a debutanizer...

RADIATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR MEASUREMENT

Oral

Radioactive Particle Tracking (RPT), is a visualization technique utilizing for multiphase flow systems. This technique has used to track the microalgae’s cells movement through all the segments of growth by tracking a single radioactive particle (Co-60) 200 µCi. This particle was coated by 2mm Polypropylene particle to mimic the motion of the liquid inside the reactor. The Gamma-ray intensity...

20. Flow Regime Identification in a Co-Current Gas-Liquid Upflow Moving Packed Beds Reactor Using Gamma Ray Densitometry

RADIATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR MEASUREMENT

Oral

In industries, upflow moving packed bed reactors are widely used as guard reactor to residual desulfurization unit (RDS). Efficient working of these reactors has a huge impact regarding efficiency and product quality from RDS units. Identification of flow regimes is one of the important aspects of design, scale up, predictive model and reactor performance. Flow regime identification in this...
