Reboilers are and insensitive to the variations in level–control– designed to operate with no liquid condensate level. valve opening. Condensate–pot level control was Unintenional condensate flooding of reboilers poor, and the control valve had to be operated on results in a greater risk of corrosion since corrosion manual. Finally this competitor transmitter failed processes occur in the liquid phase. Uncontrolled and was replaced by the earlier generation corrosion can lead to reboiler failure and unplanned magnetostrictive AT200 transmitter years ago. The shutdown costing billions of dollars. customer is now looking to upgrade the measurement system. — The application
