Physical and Mechanical Properties of High Alumina Refractory Materials for shielding Applications of Steam Reformer Reactor

Abstract

This research studied the physical properties of high alumina refractory materials, which are using as lining material in the primary and secondary reformer for Ammonia production in Kima project of Aswan City, Egypt .The study focused on the effect of materials balance variations of the mixture content, with different chemical recipes on\xa0 The physical and mechanical properties which are affected by the in-service conditions of the primary and secondary reformer; these physical and mechanical properties are ; the bulk density, the thermal conductivity, permanent linear change (PLC), the cold crushing strength. Key Words: Primary and secondary Reformer, alumina base refractory materials, ASTM C134,C133, \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0C856, Ammonia production process.
