Abstract
A method for monitoring a FCC catalyst injection system is provided. One embodiment of the invention includes steps for determining an occurrence of a pre-defined event and establishing communication between a control module of the injection system and a remote device in response to the event. In another embodiment of the invention, a method is described which entails the acquisition of data from the injection system by a plurality of sensors. After the data is obtained, it is subsequently stored in the memory device of the control module. Communication is then established between a remote device and the control module to transfer the data.
Claims17
A method for monitoring a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst injection system, the method comprising:
- determining an occurrence of a predefined event associated with the fluid catalytic cracking catalyst injection system;
- establishing communication between a control module of the fluid catalytic cracking catalyst injection system and a remote device in response to the event, wherein the remote device is remote from the fluid catalytic cracking catalyst injection system;
- and wherein the step of establishing communication comprises transmitting information to the remote device in response to a predefined event;
- and information comprises automatically submitting a reorder request for catalyst if a catalyst inventory level is below a predefined threshold;
- and
- transmitting information relating to the event between the remote device and control module.
A method for monitoring a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst injection system, the method comprising:
- storing data from the fluid catalytic cracking catalyst injection system in a memory device of a control module;
- establishing communication between the control module and at least one of a remote or a local device in response to a predefined protocol;
- wherein the predefined protocol further comprises an event sensed by at least one of the fluid catalytic cracking injection system or the control module and wherein the predefined protocol comprises an event which exceeds a threshold;
- and
- transmitting data from the memory device of the control module to the at least one of the remote or the local device.
