Cost Analysis
A sensor installed in a reflux accumulator can save money by reducing amine chemical losses and steam usage.
If the amine concentration in the reflux is high, this means that the system is losing amine in the reflux. By lowering the reboiler temperature, less amine escapes, and less steam is necessary.
This data is for a typical refinery that processes 100,000 barrels per day of crude.
