This solution brief delves deep into the challenges and solutions related to steam methane reforming (SMR), an essential process in producing industrial hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia.
Akselos introduces a groundbreaking, data-driven approach to inspecting and maintaining SMR pigtails, addressing common issues like pigtail leaks and ruptures that significantly impact plant safety and efficiency.
By harnessing the power of Structural Digital Twin technology and integrating live sensor data, Akselos provides a real-time understanding of stress distribution in SMR pigtail arrays. This innovative approach allows for more targeted, prescriptive maintenance, dramatically reducing unplanned downtime and extending asset lifespan.
Additionally, the brief highlights how applying actual sensor data helps establish a safe operating envelope, significantly lowering operational expenses (OPEX) and optimizing process units.
This document is a valuable resource for professionals seeking to enhance the efficiency and safety of their SMR operations through advanced technological solutions.
