In a process gas synthesis for ammonia production, steam precursors are produced in a
shell and tube heat exchanger (HE), called a waste heat boiler (WHB), because it uses heat …

Severe leakage occurs in the collection pipeline at the outlet of air cooler in the distillation
column, which leads to an unplanned shutdown. In order to reveal the root cause of the …

This study deals with the high-risk shell-and-tube heat exchangers in the effluent system of
hydrogenation reaction of the petrochemical industry. The process of hydroprocessing …

A new hybrid laser forging and arc additive repairing process was developed to significantly
improve the performance of repaired components, in which a leading gas metal arc was …

Shell and tube heat exchangers are widely used in the oil and gas, petrochemical and
