Using Temperature Measurement to Monitor Performance and Startup in Steam Methane Reformers
Robert Torgerson | Know-howTo produce hydrogen for industrial use, syngas (synthesis gas) plants all over the world use steam methane reformers (SMR). Temperature measurement and monitoring is key to performance and safety, especially during the potentially dangerous startup process. A steam …
Temperature Measurement Solution: How to Accurately Monitor Hot Spots in Syngas Plant Furnaces
Robert Torgerson | Know-howHot spots can considerably reduce the life of furnace tubes. To monitor hot spots, tubeskins should be equipped with a reliable, robust temperature measurement system. Multipoint thermocouple assemblies can quickly alert operators when hot spots occur. In addition, …
How to Maximize Furnace Tube Life and Determine How Much Life Is Left
Robert Torgerson | Know-how, TemperatureReforming reactions in syngas (synthesis gas) plants require high heat, which takes a toll on the lifespan of furnace tubes. The higher the temperature, the shorter the tube life. Using a simple formula based on temperature measurements over time, plant operators can …
