Maintaining the Reliability and Safety of Steam Methane Reformers through Outlet System Monitoring

Monday, March 20, 2023 | James Cross

Application

Monitoring the performance of a steam methane reformer (SMR) is a crucial process in the ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, and steel industries. However, the operation of the SMR close to its material temperature and pressure design limits poses significant reliability challenges, such as creep rupture and cracks caused by high pressures, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical loads. Therefore, regular physical inspections and monitoring of the SMR are required despite the safety risks beneath the reformer.

Combustion Control in a Black Liquor Boiler

Tuesday, February 14, 2023 | Derek Stuart

Application

The kraft process is widely used to convert wood into pulp for papermaking. The process is very efficient because most of the chemicals used to process the wood can be recycled. In the process, the lignin and hemicellulose are separated from the desired cellulose fibres.

Sir William Herschel discovered the relative energy of sunlight by using a prism and passing sunlight through it. The rainbow colours appeared, and he found that the temperature was rising when he used a thermometer to measure the temperature at the end of the visible red light.

10 Reasons Why Thermal Cameras Are Preferred to Video Cameras for Furnace Monitoring.

Wednesday, February 1, 2023 | James Cross

Application

Following on from a recent blog by my esteemed colleague Manfred in December, we continue the discussion on thermal imaging versus video imaging with a focus on furnace monitoring. We often get asked something along the lines of “why would I install a thermal imager when there are perfectly good high temperature video cameras available for my furnace?” It’s quite simple; accurate temperature data is extremely valuable.

Understanding the Importance of 'HOT SPOT' Measurement in Non-Contact Temperature Measurement Applications

Wednesday, January 11, 2023 | Manfred Hayk

Application

In applications for non-contact temperature measurement, the term "HOT-SPOT measurement" is commonly used to not only recognize and measure "hot spots" or areas of high temperature, but also detect cold, cooler areas and show their distribution. In principle, the temperature of an object in a process can be detected and measured in three ways:

Steam Methane Reformer (SMR) Tube Metal Temperatures (TMT) Data Collection and Correction

Friday, January 6, 2023 | James Cross

Application

Due to the significant number of questions about how to record and interpret tube metal temperatures from infrared pyrometers on Steam Methane Reformers and other fired heaters, we have produced the brief guide below which is the result of feedback from industry experts.

What Are The Key Differences between VIS and IR Thermal Imagers?

Monday, December 5, 2022 | Manfred Hayk

Application

Within many industries and applications, visible cameras are widely used for process monitoring. Even in security applications, visible cameras or special residual light amplifying cameras are used to retrieve accurate images even when there is poor lighting.
