REFORM-3PC Steam Hydrocarbon Reforming Simulation Program
|
 |
REFORM-3PC is a rating program for the firebox sections of
Steam-Hydrocarbon Reformer furnaces, which are used in Hydrogen, Ammonia
and Oxo-Alcohol production. Based on user-supplied furnace geometry and
process information, the program calculates operating parameters such as
firing rate, furnace efficiency, tube skin temperatures, gas-and
process-side temperature profiles, heat duties and fluxes.
REFORM-3PC simulates most reforming furnace types such as Up, Down, Side
Fired and Terrace Wall. It can model any catalyst shape or size.
REFORM-3PC performs process-side kinetics calculations based on stream
composition and temperature for each tube increment. The program uses a
3-dimensional flue gas zone analysis for accurate process kinetics in each
tube increment. Both primary and secondary (combustion) reactions are
calculated. |

REFORM-3PC has user-friendly graphical input systems for either DOS (via
Windows 3.1) or Windows 95/98/NT/2000 operating systems. The input systems contain
on-line help and input limit and error checking.
REFORM-3PC can model gas or liquid fuels and can be run in full performance
rating mode or simple thermodynamic prediction mode to get overall reaction
yields. The program calculates both circumferential and longitudinal tube wall
temperature profiles.
