State Analysis and Life Evaluation on Reformer Furnace Pipe Used for 100000hrs

Article Preview

Abstract:

The state analysis and life evaluation of the reformer furnace run over service period by EPMA, microstructure and high temperature rupture property. The results show that element distribution and microstructure of reformer furnace pipes normal and the remaining life is longer. The material of furnace pipe for the HK40 are able to meet the process requirement, but the wall thickness of reformer pipe is too large, affecting the thermal efficiency and the inner diameter is small to limit the catalyst and flow. It is good proposal to production enterprises that higher level of material is selected to reduce the wall thickness properly, expand the diameter and improve efficiency.
