Enhanced safety in polymer production

In the Ziegler-Natta polymerization process, precise temperature measurement is critical to prevent runaway reactions and ensure operator safety. A major risk arises if a thermowell leaks, potentially exposing personnel to hazardous materials during maintenance. Endress+Hauser’s iTHERM ModuLine TM131 with Dual Seal technology addresses this by providing a second process barrier and automatic leakage detection via pressure switch. This design enhances safety, simplifies maintenance and supports compliance with SIL standards—without requiring frequent system shutdowns.
