Reformer Refurbishment

RCR Stelform's refurbishment technology can significantly reduce the costs and downtime associated with gas reformer furnace repairs.

We have a proven track record for:

  • Repairs to high temperature gas reforming furnaces
  • Repairs to independently fired heaters
  • Complete turnaround management of high temperature process plants

Our experienced repair teams use the latest generation orbital TIG welding equipment to ensure a repeatable, high quality result.

RCR Stelform offers repair solutions to the following problems:

  • Cracks in pigtail tubes, both inlets and outlets
  • Bull tee to header welds due to creep failure
  • Catalyst tube flange weld transition failures
  • Reformed gas header weld failures due to creep
  • Catalyst and riser tube repairs

We provide a program of early involvement and planning to guarantee refurbishment success. This includes:

  • Simulated repairs conducted in the workshop to ensure trouble-free shutdown
  • Innovative welding techniques to avoid the removal of catalyst and a full tube retrofit
