What is CatalystMS?

​​CatalystMS provided by Fitiri works with CatTracker® and is used for monitoring catalyst performance in process plants. Data collected over a period are analyzed instantaneously and the remaining life of the catalyst can be calculated. This helps in making critical decisions and closely monitoring design defects and other related issues. This information is crucial for both the catalyst supplier and the plant manager.

About CatTracker

  • The CatTracker®, employing patented aerospace thermocouple technology, offers the process industry with rugged and flexible temperature probes designed to be in direct contact with the process.
  • The CatTracker®’s multiple temperature sensing points are each independent and isolated from one another, while at the same time ungrounded from the sheath.
  • Regardless of the type of catalyst used, the CatTracker® serves to protect the end user’s investment by notifying operators of undesirable process phenomena such as hot-spots, maldistribution, and channeling and the software used with this equipment would be CatalystMS.

Patented Cat Tracker Temperature Measurement

CatalystMS uses Daily Thermetrics’ patented CatTracker temperature measurement technology.
  • Well suited for long fired tubes as in Reformers and fired heaters11 thermocouple measurement locations in one sheath.
  • Positioned at determined points of interest along length, Rugged and flexible to take any shape. Sheath material selection to fit high temperatures or high corrosivity (super alloys).
  • Can determine fluid channeling in reactors ( multiple points in single sheath)
  • Can connect to DCS or local controllers seamlessly
