Hydro Crackers:

• Hydrogen. High pressure. High temperature. This is requiring, no, screaming for at least 2¼
Cr steel.
• As cars for example, do not perform well on heavy fuel oil, it is essential to produce lighter
fuels, such as petrol or diesel, from petroleum.
• One of the methods applied by the oil industry is to break, or crack, the long carbon chains of
petroleum using a process called 'hydro cracking'.
• High pressure hydrogen at high temperatures are used to create lighter fuels from basic
compounds via a catalyst.
• Hydrogen molecules form a bond with the shortened carbon ends, increasing the hydrogen
level in the fuels.
• More hydrogen means more combustion energy. An extra bonus is that hydrogen is the
cleanest fuel there is.
Hydro Crackers: Cases
• Challenge / question
• Hydrogen is clean because all that is left
after combustion is clean water. However,
there is one hiccup.
• Processing hydrogen is extremely difficult.
The mere fact that hydrogen molecules
are particularly small makes it hard to
separate them.
• In addition, producing lighter fuels
requires hydrogen at high pressure and
high temperature. This demands a special
material, so-called 2¼ chromium steel.
• One of the characteristics of this steel is
its extreme sensitivity to rupture,
therefore, perfect workmanship is required
to process it. A client asks us to supply a
hydro cracking installation.

Hydro Crackers: Cases
• Our solution
• We design a heat exchanger, where both the
shell and tube side are made of 2¼ Cr steel.
• As the inside hass parts that come into contact
with hydrogen, a layer of stainless steel is welded
on. Aside from its sensitivity to rupture, 2¼ Cr
steel is exceptionally strong at high
temperatures.
• This helps to keep the thickness of the
equipment within bounds. In order to avoid the
steel rupturing, the temperature during the
welding must remain as constant as possible.
Therefore, it is vital to keep the temperature of
the heat exchanger at a couple of hundred
degrees during specialist welding activities,
sometimes even for weeks. Next, the exchanger
must gradually cool down to prevent it from
rupturing. This is called step-cooling. Examples
of sheets at the same temperature, followed by
destructive tests, enable us to fine tune the
conditions required to manufacture this
equipment. We supply the specified heat
exchanger, designed according to the required
quality procedures, certification and in time to the
client.
