Device for Control of Phase Interfaces Based on Plastic Scintillator and Silicon Photomultipliers
摘要
Abstract
The article describes a prototype device for monitoring the level of phase separation, which can be used for operational control of the delayed coking process in the petrochemical industry. A scheme and design of an experimental device developed by the authors, consisting of an organic plastic scintillator and an array of silicon photomultipliers, is presented. A computer simulation of the response of a scintillation detector under conditions of the actual geometry of the coke drum is presented. Experimental results demonstrating the performance of the device are presented.
