Apparatus for identifying the presence of a process stream 2 in a heat exchange stream 5 of a heat exchange system said process stream being immiscible in the heat exchange stream said apparatus comprises: a reservoir 12b in fluid communication with a heat exchange system, said reservoir being configured such that the process stream and the heat exchange stream are allowed to separate such that there is an interface therebetween; and means for detecting the presence of an interface between the process stream and the heat exchange stream within the reservoir. The heat exchange system may be a closed circuit system, and the reservoir may be a pipe located in a substantially vertical orientation. The means for detecting the presence of an interface between the reaction stream and the heat exchange stream may be a sight-glass, a conductivity detector or a level detector such as a density float. |
