This publication applies to steam reformers that are operated with natural gas, refinery off gas, naphtha, and other light hydrocarbon streams. It specifically applies to large volume hydrogen production plants, defined for this publication as a nominal production capacity of 10 000 Nm3/hr (approximately 9 MMSCFD) or greater. This publication may also be applied to smaller reformers depending on the technology used. This publication may also be used for similar applications such as internally insulated piping in a partial oxidation unit. Applicability for cases other than what is described in the publication is left to the reader.
