Furnace tube rupture
Thread Content
If the tube in the hydrogen production converter ruptures, why should the steam supply be increased rather than reduced? Why
Increasing the steam supply is to ensure safety, right?
Steam can extinguish fires, protect equipment, and safeguard catalysts, among other things
Perhaps to reduce carbon emissions, the rupture of the furnace tube may have been caused by catalyst coking, which led to excessively high temperatures in that area of the furnace tube and resulting in its rupture
Depending on the extent of the rupture, if it is minor, increase the steam supply and pull out the furnace tube; if the rupture is severe, take immediate action to shut down the plant. It’s good enough that the furnace hasn’t turned into a fire hazard!
I agree with the view that 【steam can extinguish fires, protect equipment, and safeguard catalysts, etc.】
When the furnace tube ruptures, increase the steam supply to dilute and protect against the situation from worsening.
To protect equipment and catalysts, fire suppression steam can be used to extinguish fires
