Blasch introduces a new approach to primary reformer flue gas tunnels

Blasch Precision Ceramics, Inc., an Albany-based ceramic technology manufacturer, announces a unique new approach to primary reformer flue gas tunnels with their StaBlox™ Tunnel System.

Attendees of the Nitrogen + Syngas Conference in Turkey Feb 23 – 26 will be among the first to see this new system modeled. Blasch’s new StaBlox Tunnel System allows for an extremely fast, easy installation while at the same time offering a much higher level of reliability with customizable interlocking blocks and highly engineered, mortar free expansion joints.
 
“Unlike traditional reformer flue gas tunnels which will typically fail as a result of the effects of multiple thermal cycles on the mortared components, and incorrect accommodation for expansion due to thermal growth, we have engineered the guesswork out of our StaBlox Tunnel System,” commented Ted Collins, Blasch Precision Ceramics Vice President of Sales. “The same base material and distributed expansion technology behind the StaBlox system has been supplied by Blasch in various high temperature combustion applications for decades now.” 

Because of the geometry of the blocks in the base, walls and customized structural lid of the Blasch StaBlox Tunnel System, installation is reduced to less than one half of current install time with considerably less manpower required, and no mortar joints.   

Blasch has significant expertise in high temperature processes within oil refineries as well as chemical plants.  They have developed a number of patented systems that continue to improve processes and lower costs worldwide.
