The steam reformer will be part of the 420 tonnes per day hydrogen production unit, based on Foster Wheeler’s hydrogen technology and process design package.
The hydrogen production unit is being built by JSC Novo-Ufimsky Refinery while Foster Wheeler’s scope of work is scheduled to be completed in mid-2012.
Foster Wheeler’s Terrace Wall reformer is characterized by a firing arrangement and sloped-wall radiant section design that, together, enable long catalyst tube life (often in excess of 100,000 hours) and deliver the flexibility to extend a reformer’s operating envelope.
Foster Wheeler said that its reformers can operate with ultra-low-NOx burners to meet tightening environmental emission standards worldwide.
