Synthesis gas cooler for partial oxidation of oil or natural gas
In high-temperature processes like the non-catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons, managing the extreme heat and particulate matter generated is critical. Ensuring effective heat recovery while resisting erosion, corrosion, and fouling is a significant challenge in such environments.
Cool synthesis gas efficiently and safely
The synthesis gas cooler by BORSIG is specifically designed for use downstream of the partial oxidation process of oil and natural gas. Operating at temperatures up to 1,500 °C and pressures up to 8,000 kPa, this system efficiently cools the gas from approximately 1,400 °C to 300 °C while generating saturated steam at pressures up to 140 bar. The cooler’s helically wound tubes, reinforced with patented reinforcement ribs and ceramic coatings, resist erosion and handle the high particulate burden of the gas. Also, the design includes a forced circulation system for the gas inlet nozzles to manage the high material stresses effectively. With a gas side flow rate scalable from 70,000 Nm³/h to 200,000 Nm³/h, it suits various industrial gasification processes.
