REFRACTORY DEGRADATION |
This reactor vessel is surveyed on a yearly basis to determine
degradation of refractory for optimal performance and safety. Problems on this
type of equipment can be truly catastrophic. |

 |
REFORMER WALL |
| This client had a collapse of refractory on the left wall, out of line view.
They wanted to see how the heating on the Reformer cell on the left was affected so
that they could run the plant until they were ready to shutdown for repairs. |

BURNERS |
Early detection of problems with these burners using Infrared may have
saved them from the complete destruction seen here. A problem with the design was
corrected and the burners were replaced but at the cost of significant plant downtime. |
