Reformed gas waste heat boiler with variable tube sheet
Achieve precise heat recovery and temperature control in high-pressure steam applications, ensuring optimal efficiency and longevity of your production line while handling extreme gas inlet conditions.
Recovers Heat and Generates Steam from Waste Gases
The Reformed Gas Waste Heat Boiler from BORSIG Process Heat Exchanger GmbH is designed to efficiently recover heat and generate high-pressure steam from synthesis gas processes. Utilizing a patented stiffened or flexible tube sheet design, it ensures optimal cooling and minimizes metal temperature, thus preventing crevice corrosion. With applications spanning synthesis gas processing, petrochemical refining, and hydrogen production, this boiler accommodates high gas inlet temperatures up to 1,200°C and steam pressures up to 160 bar. It features an internal gas-side bypass for precise outlet temperature control via a single valve adjustment, allowing seamless integration into refining and power generation lines. Constructed to handle continuous, high-pressure operations, it offers robust performance and longevity, and is suitable for a range of industries including chemical, petrochemical, and energy production. Options for customization and engineering support ensure tailored solutions for specific industrial requirements.
