Synthesis gas cooler for partial oxidation of oil or natural gas
Optimize high-temperature gas streams efficiently by employing a synthesis gas cooler, designed to manage extreme conditions, ensure superior heat recovery, and enhance operational reliability in continuous production environments.
Cools and Recovers Heat from Synthesis Gas
The Synthesis Gas Cooler from BORSIG Process Heat Exchanger GmbH is designed to address the rigorous demands of high-temperature gas cooling and heat recovery in petrochemical and refining industries. This fire-tube boiler employs helically wound heating surfaces to effectively reduce synthesis gas temperatures from 1,400 °C to 300 °C, utilizing the recovered heat to generate and superheat steam at pressures up to 140 bar. Ideal for producing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and other industrial gases, this cooler integrates seamlessly into operations handling crude oil or natural gas derivatives.
The unit handles up to 200,000 Nm³/h of gas flow, facilitated by a design that ensures constant gas velocity for optimal self-cleaning. Reinforcement ribs and ceramic coatings provide superior erosion and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh environments with particulate-laden emissions. Engineered for continuous, high-pressure, and high-temperature operations, the cooler’s inlet nozzles incorporate forced circulation to mitigate material stresses. The modular tube design allows for easy access and maintenance, ensuring operational efficiency and longevity.
