Process instrumentation for Steam Methane Reforming and carbon capture
SMR with carbon capture poses particular challenges for the instrumentation used. Extreme conditions demand specialized materials like Hastelloy or Inconel, along with protective coatings for sensors. Accurate measurement of multiphase flows is crucial. Sensitive gas analyzers are needed to detect trace contaminants, ensuring process efficiency and safety. Integrating data from numerous instruments requires a robust distributed control system, possibly leveraging cloud-based solutions.

Focus on key process parameters
Monitor reformer pressure safely
Monitoring pressure in the reformer is vital for maintaining system integrity and preventing leaks or ruptures.
Ensure reformer safety with Endress+Hauser pressure transmitters
Differential pressure transmitters are essential for monitoring pressure drops across catalysts beds, filters and control valves. These help identify blockages or fouling issues. PMD75B offers:
Accurate and reliable measurement even in very small pressure ranges.
Time savings as the devices are easy to operate and require minimum training.
Guided wave radar (GWR) level devices are the preferred choice for level measurement in the steam drum and other vessels with high temperatures and pressures. GWR offers high accuracy and is not affected by changes in process conditions.
Reliable measurement even for changing product and process conditions.
Highest reliability due to new Multi-Echo Tracking evaluation.
Seamless integration into control or asset management systems and intuitive, menu-guided operation concept (on-site or via the control system).
World's easiest proof test for SIL and WHG saves time and costs.
Thermocouples excel in high-temperature environments and are available in a wide variety of types (K, N, S, etc.), each with specific temperature ranges and environmental compatibility. This allows for flexibility in selecting the right thermocouple for different parts of the SMR process. Our TC15 thermometer provides:
High degree of flexibility thanks to modular design with standard terminal heads as per DIN EN 50446 and customer-specific immersion lengths.
High degree of insert compatibility and design as per DIN 43772.
Extension neck to protect the head transmitter from overheating.
Enhance reformer efficiency thanks to reliable Raman gas analyzers
Raman spectroscopy enables real-time, continuous monitoring of the gas composition in the reformer. This allows for rapid process adjustments, optimizing efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Our Rxn5 gas analyzers offer:
Simultaneous identification and quantification of multiple gas species (e.g., H2, CO, CO2, CH4) in a single measurement.
Comprehensive analysis providing valuable insights into the reaction kinetics and process efficiency.
Non-intrusive technique which doesn't disturb the reaction process.
Messer produces hydrogen in a steam reformer. The facility has a large number of protection and safety devices where pressure values play an important role.
