What to do if the single-point temperature of the glycol tower catalyst is low
It must be a problem with the thermometer. It would help to explain the specific situation so that a judgment can be made.
If it is a newly installed thermocouple, it is possible that the water inside the sleeve has not been completely removed. In the case of a system operating normally, instrument problems should be ruled out first. Once such problems are resolved, it could be due to uneven gas distribution within the tower; the usual solution is to increase the catalyst temperature and the circulation rate, which will help eliminate the issue. Uneven catalyst packing, as well as gas bias during heating and reduction, can both lead to temperature differences on the two sides.
