of emissivity and incident radiation. The Gold Cup has a narrow protective edge suitable for contact with the tube, which blocks incident radiation from entering the cavity formed between the tube and the cup (see Figure 6 ). This energy escapes through a tiny aperture in the back of the hemisphere, where it is measured by the pyrometer module’s detector. A handheld display continuously records the temperature data. The Gold Cup is designed only for periodic reference measurement readings that can increase the accuracy of non-contact devices. It has been successfully used across the industry to improve the temperature accuracy of steam cracker and SMR measurements. Key industry decarbonisation trends will change how we work and force end users, technology licensors, and instrument manufacturers to continuously seek incremental and radical improvements to process efficiency. Implementing digital solutions and infrared technologies with the necessary technical understanding could help steam cracker and SMR operators improve temperature

WEBINAR

Petrochemical and refining operations of the future will include more plastics oil, obtained from chemical recycling, in the feedstock mix to establish circularity in the plastics lifecycle or to qualify for fuels category. An important step in this value chain is to purify and upgrade the raw plastics oil obtained from depolymerisation.

Watch this webinar to learn about: • The environmental necessity of recycling plastics. • Sulzer Chemtech’s portfolio in plastics recycling. • SuRe™ Styrene – Sulzer Chemtech’s GTC licensed technology to upgrade pyrolysis crude styrene, obtained from waste PS to ultra-high purity (>99.95wt%) styrene monomer. • Purification and upgradation of pyrolysis oil obtained frommixed plastics or tyres for downstream applications for e.g., naphtha cracker feedstock, fuels category, etc.
