MORE ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT

The document highlights the role of the steam methane reformer (SMR) in industrial processes and the issues with pigtail leaks. To address these challenges, Akselos developed a Structural Digital Twin that uses live sensor data for real-time monitoring of pigtail stress. This approach has transformed inspection methods, ensuring the SMR operates within safe parameters, reducing risks, and delivering significant financial savings.
