Reacting pipes with increased operation life for petrochemical plants

Centrifugal-casted pipes of high-temperature steels and alloys are widely used in many branches of engineering. For example, radiant pipes are used in thermal furnaces with protective atmosphere, hearth rolls are used in continuous thermal and heating furnaces of ironworks, rollers are used in continuous annealing units etc. Opportunity of increasing of natural gas high-temperature conversion working parameters on the methanol and ammonia units is very important question, because temperature and pressure increasing not only raise up productivity of units, but also decreasesproduct cost price and allows to get hydrogen with higher purity.

Сonclusions
Due to implemented elaborations, industrial production of pipes with thickness 9-12 mm and length 6 m has been organized in the “Reakcionnyje truby” Ltd. as well as collectors and legs for the ammonia, methanol and hydrocarbon pyrolysis units, exploited with temperature up to 1100°C and pressure up to 5 MPa. Austenitic alloys are saved by the Russian Federation patents and marked with prestigious awards of Moscow Multinationalsalon Archimed. Products of the plant are successfully used on the ammonium units JSC "Togliattiazot" and methanol units “Tomet” Ltd. Pipes implementation on the ammonium systems type AM-76 and Kemiko has increased reforming furnaces production on more than 30% and essentially decreased consumption rates of the natural gas [10]. Quality management system according to ISO 9001-2088 is implemented at the plant, products meet requirements of the UC certificate of conformity.
