摘要:
A reformer tube processing and filling system is provided for ensuring uniformity of reformer tube flow rates and reactivity. The disclosed invention provides a system for detecting and removing tube obstructions, as well as an automated process for verifying the flow rate for each tube and identifying tubes with abnormal flow rates to remove a source of human error and conserve labor costs. An automated tube filling system provides a calibrated fill mechanism coordinated with a calibrated loading rope withdrawal mechanism to ensure loading consistency. A lack of vibrating parts ensures a low dust count, and what little dust is present is removed via a built-in vacuum outlet in the loader.

The invention relates to a method of preparing a catalyst tube for executing catalytic processing of a material through the tube, in parallel with one or more other catalyst tubes. According to the invention, the method comprising: providing an empty catalyst tube; inspecting the tube interior via video to determine whether closer scanning of the tube is to be performed; detail scanning the tube interior to identify one or more dirt or contamination deposits for removal if such inspection reveals that scanning necessary; cleaning the tube inside wall if the step of detail scanning reveals deposits to be removed from the tube inside wall; measuring a pressure drop through the tube; filling the catalyst tube with catalyst and again measuring the pressure drop through the tube; comparing the last measured pressure drop to an average pressure drop taken with respect to the catalyst tube and the one or more other catalyst tubes; and if the pressure drop for the catalyst tube is within a predetermined variance of the average, identifying the catalyst tube as suitable for use.

The invention relates to a device for cleaning the outer surface of a pipe (4) having a longitudinal axis. The device (1) has a frame (2) having driving means and press-on means (8, 9) for the longitudinally directed motion of the device (1) on the outer surface of the pipe (4) and a runner (3), which has a longitudinally directed passage for feeding the pipe (4) through and is rotatably fastened to the frame (3) about the longitudinal axis of the pipe (4), wherein the runner (3) carries cleaning elements (31), which are in contact with the outer surface of the pipe (4) when the device (1) is operating.
