Flue Gas Reformer Tunnel System: StaBlox™

The Blasch StaBlox flue gas reformer tunnel system is a versatile, mechanically stable system consisting of a series of stackable, customizable, interlocking blocks and highly engineered, mortar-free expansion joints. The StaBlox system allows for an extremely fast, easy installation as compared to conventional brick and mortar designs, with a much higher level of reliability. Lightweight, structurally stable roof assemblies are much more resistant to the effects of high temperature creep than standard designs.
 
Just a few StaBlox advantages:
 
· Reformer temperature within approximately +/- 2% of the design temperature

· Reduction of methane slip

· Extension of catalyst tube life by reducing stress cracking and catalyst life by avoiding carbon fouling

· Increased production due to improved efficiency of conversion

· Fast tunnel construction, substantially reduced downtime and overall installation cost

· Improved flow uniformity, reduced pressure drop and lower temperature gradients around the tubes
 
With orifice inserts, BD Energy Systems’ patent-pending TOP technology can be implemented to provide near uniform flow along the length of each tunnel, promoting even heating and reducing tube hotspots.
