To establish the project design basis for “Reformer Furnaces”, confirm “Reformer feed and process tubes” and its inputs: Provide feed/steam composition and flow, reference conditions, process/thermal targets, tube arrangement/specification and fuel/combustion limits. Final values, supply limits and acceptance criteria are recorded in approved engineering documents; no generic capacity or catalogue guarantee is assumed.
From project definition to delivery
Engineering of Reformer Furnaces concentrates on feed purification, reaction equilibrium, steam-to-carbon ratio, catalyst protection, heat-flux distribution, reformer metallurgy, heat recovery, product composition and safe firing control. The selected configuration is verified against normal, minimum, start-up, shutdown and credible upset cases, then checked for operability, maintainability, energy use, process safety and site interfaces before the design is frozen.
The design basis for Reformer Furnaces is defined from service data, design conditions, and battery limits. For this equipment, Reformer feed and process tubes and Fuel and process conditions must be completed in the datasheet and design documents; performance values and guarantees are set only after the project basis is approved.
Materials, corrosion allowance, sour-service requirements, piping classes, nozzle design, insulation, coating, supports and maintenance access are coordinated with the actual process conditions and project code hierarchy.
Control philosophy, alarms and trips, cause-and-effect logic, interlocks, start-up and shutdown sequences, safe depressurization and operator access are developed consistently from the P&IDs through functional testing.
Battery limits, tie-in points, structural loads, cabling, instrumentation, drains, vents, access routes, lifting envelopes and shipping constraints are controlled through coordinated models and interface drawings.
From project definition to delivery
Proposal quality depends on complete input data and an explicit acceptance basis. The following lists provide a practical starting point and are completed during technical clarification.
Technical Datasheet
Temperature and pressure below are published process operating references for steam reforming, not furnace-casing design limits. Feed composition, steam-to-carbon ratio, catalyst, tube metallurgy and plant configuration change the design.
| Parameter | Published value | Reference basis | Applicability / limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Published reformer operating temperature | 740–950°C | Operating-temperature span stated for a steam reformer technology offering. | Process-side reference; not tube-metal or firebox temperature. Confirm catalyst, conversion, feed and tube-skin-temperature limits. |
| Published reformer operating pressure | Up to 50 bar | Maximum operating pressure stated for the same steam-reforming technology reference. | Process pressure only; it is not the fired enclosure pressure rating. Confirm pressure basis/location and all pressure-part design requirements. |
| Associated modular hydrogen-plant output example | 150–12,000 Nm³/h H₂ | Published typical capacity range for modular hydrogen plants that include steam-reforming technology. | Whole-plant hydrogen output, not a standalone furnace rating; do not use without feed, purity, recovery and battery-limit definition. |
