IntroductionIntroduction
Gas Technology Institute (GTI) recently i i d Ad d G ifi ti T tcommissioned an Advanced Gasification Test
Facility, a research building which houses pilot-scale gasification and gas processing systems.g g g yCritical process measurement points were required to be monitored so data could be collected and analyzed to help verify the process performanceanalyzed to help verify the process performance. The Rosemount 848T high density temperature transmitter and FFMAI blocks in DeltaV were used as a means to effectively achieve this goal.

Project GoalsProject Goals
The combination of these facilities allows integrated il ti f d d ifi ti d d tpiloting of advanced gasification and downstream
technologies that enable commercialization of better processes to produce power, chemicals, and gaseous and liquid fuels.Built in conjunction with our partners Carbona and Pratt & WhitneyPratt & Whitney– Project timeline and costs were critical factors
Temperature Measurement ChallengesTemperature Measurement Challenges
Need to collect data from over 160 temperature t i t i th ifi ti t dmeasurement points in the gasification reactor and
another 80 temperature points throughout the plant to accurately verify pilot plant performance in a cost y yeffective manner.Working with existing DeltaV – Cabinet space at a premiumpremiumNeed ability to change around devices or move thermocouples as testing dictates.p g

Analog Transmitters require wiring runs for each measurement. More devices, terminations and wiring infrastructure is required.
Long sensor wires are susceptible to measurement drift.
