Seeking advice on materials for Texaco gasifiers
Thread Content
Thank you all for your help. I would like to ask: the material used for Texaco’s gasification furnaces is presumably SA387, and it seems to be imported from Germany. Which company is responsible for supplying this material (is it ThyssenKrupp)? What is the typical thickness of such materials? Are the nozzles currently in use domestic products? First, thank my siblings.
Materials for gasification furnaces are available in Europe; companies such as Kobe Steel and Nippon Steel in Japan also supply them； The thickness is related to the design pressure of the gasification furnace ； Currently, 60% of the burners are domestically sourced ；
The shell material for gasification furnaces is usually SA387. The suppliers of imported sheet metal are generally companies such as Nippon Steel and Asano in Japan, as well as Dillinger in Germany. The thickness is determined through calculations, taking into account factors such as pressure and temperature. The burners for Texaco gasification furnaces are likely GE’s patent; at least GE’s products are used during performance testing. For subsequent operation, domestic products will suffice.
The material used for Texaco’s gasifiers is SA387Gr11cl2, which can be produced by Wuyang Steel Plant. The typical thickness ranges from 64 to 120; however, the nozzles are not necessarily all domestically produced components.
Nozzles: Beijing Aerospace makes pretty good ones, and Shanxi Fengxi also uses quite good ones
