Whitepaper Summary:

The syngas (synthesis gas) industry plays a crucial role in producing essential materials like ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels. However, it faces significant operational challenges that impact efficiency, safety, and profitability. These challenges arise from extreme operating conditions – high temperatures, high pressures, and exposure to corrosive materials – which accelerate wear and tear on critical equipment including, but not limited to, steam methane reformers (SMRs), heat exchangers, and CO₂ absorption towers.

As global regulations push for decarbonization and stricter environmental compliance, syngas producers must find new ways to enhance energy efficiency and reliability while minimizing their environmental footprint.

By implementing the best practices in this paper, syngas producers can reduce their energy consumption by 10-15%, significantly extend the life of their equipment, and avoid unplanned shutdowns that can cost millions of dollars.
