The camera can be used for the monitoring of temperature on distillation column tubes. The surface temperature is an indicator of :
the resulting metal thickness, allowing the detection of flaws and cracks, the possible presence of coke, reducing the internal fluid output, or external surface changes, as a result of poor combustion.

Thanks for your information, my client wants to check the "plates" in it, can I "see" them with termography and reporting him its condition or How can I do a valuation of this items.
Some literature advice?
Thanks again |

If someone has IR images that identify internal tray locations, damaged or fouled packing bed, deposits on the deck, in the downcomers or sump, I am very interested in seeing them.
Not to say that it's impossible, but I am skeptical that IR would give the needed detail. (Unless of course there was a serious internal problem i.e. collapsed/ disrupted trays)
Is Gamma Scanning not an option for some reason? |

| on uninsulated columns with down comer type trays you can seen the flow from one tray to the next. On columns that utilize seive type trays you can pick up the tray locations at times depending on how much level is being held on each. |
