Temperature Measurement Solution: How to Accurately Monitor Hot Spots in Syngas Plant Furnaces

Temperature measurement in syngas plants

Hot 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, Temperature

Reforming 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 …
