TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Tower Scan
The performance of the distillation train in a chemical facility is key to the performance and hence profitability of the manufacturing asset. When a problem occurs our customers require a rapid, accurate, cost effective and above all safe method of determining the most likely cause and location within the tower of the problem. That is why Tracerco have developed the TRACERCO
Diagnostics™ - Tower Scan technology, also known as gamma scanning, which is totally non-intrusive, quick to undertake and provides real time data to our customers.
This technique is also used during the pre-shutdown periods of facilities, so that the shut-down period can be minimised, reducing lost production and costs:
Features of the TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Tower Scan






A rapid, accurate and reliable method of characterising the extent of mechanical damage within a distillation column.
A technique which enables the process conditions within a distillation column to be fully understood (flooding, foaming, weeping, carryover, etc.).
A totally non intrusive technique undertaken by a team of highly trained engineers.
Distillation column does not need to be prepared for study (insulation does not need to be removed, flooring does not need to be removed or altered.
Able to be carried out on a wide range of distillation columns (0.5 to 10 meter diameter, various down-comers, various tray / packing designs).
Rapid response available from Tracerco.
Benefits of the TRACERCO Diagnostics™ - Tower Scan





Production can continue whilst the study is being undertaken - Reducing
Downtime.
Enables the optimisation of the maintenance of the distillation column -
Reducing Time & Costs.
Eliminates the need to shut-down the column to identify damaged packing / trays - Reducing Downtime & Costs
Real time results available, so study can be customised and optimised on site
- Reducing Costs & Time.
Efficiency of the process can be optimised by utilising the data gather from the study

Optimisation & Control of Distillation Columns
15/04/2020
The separation of raw materials, products and by-products are at the heart of the modern Chemical facility and that is why Tracerco have developed a range of process diagnostic services and specialist measurement products to help our customers optimise their distillation columns. These services and products allow our customers maximise the production through their columns whilst minimising downtime. The techniques and equipment below are all non-intrusive and provide real time data for our customers.
TRACERCO
Diagnostics™
ThruVision
The use of the TRACERCO Diagnostics™
ThruVision tomography system provides a powerful non-intrusive inspection tool to examine the contents of pipelines and vessels across a wide range of process industries.
TRACERCO
Diagnostics™
RapidScan
The TRACERCO Diagnostics™ RapidScan technology combines sophisticated wireless detector capability with an easy to install permanent guide wire scanning system.
TRACERCO
Diagnostics™ -
Tower Scan
The TRACERCO Diagnostic™ - Tower Scan allows are customers to verify the mechanical integrity of the internals and the process conditions that exist within the column to be verified.
TRACERCO
Diagnostics™ -
Distribution Study
The TRACERCO Diagnostic™ - Distribution Study allows are customers to fully understand the distribution conditions within their packed bed distillation column, enabling optimisation to be undertaken.
TRACERCO
Diagnostics™ -
Scan
The TRACERCO Diagnostic™ - Scan enables the process conditions within the down-comers of the column and the feed lines to the column to be assessed for liquid / gas / solid build-up. Click here for a brochure
TRACERCO™ -
Instruments
A range of leading edge instruments which allows our to measure and control the process conditions which exist within their distillation column.
