Kellogg reforming

KRES [Kellogg reforming exchanger system] A reforming process for providing syn-gas to the KAAP process. 

The KRES (Kellogg Reforming Exchanger System) is a reforming process that provides syngas to the KAAP process. The KAAP (Kellogg Advanced...

Other designs use stiff connections between the tube outlet and the header. The M. W. Kellogg reformer, used in more than 140 reformers, uses the concept shown in Figure 43 [446], The tubes of each row are welded to a horizontal header located inside the fire box between the flue gas tunnels. With equal numbers of tubes on both sides, a central riser connects the tube harp to the water-cooled transfer line on the top of the firebox. The tubes are suspended by spring hangers. 

When possibilities to export steam or power are limited, part of the secondary reformer waste heat is used, in addition to steam generation, for steam superheating, a feature in common with other modern concepts. Proprietary items in addition to the horizontal converter are the traditional Kellogg reformer, transfer line and secondary reformer arrangement, waste-heat boiler, and unitized chiller in the refrigeration section. 

M. W. Kellogg developed and commercialized their first Kellogg Reforming Exchanger System (KRES) in 1994. Figure 6.10 illustrates Kellogg s concept [291.

Fluid Hydroforming An early catalytic reforming process in which the catalyst was used in a continuously regenerated fluidized bed. Developed by the MW Kellogg Company. 

KAAP [Kellogg advanced ammonia process] The first high-pressure process developed for synthesizing ammonia from its elements which does not use an iron-containing catalyst. The reformer gas for this process is provided by the KRES process. The catalyst was developed by BP it contains ruthenium supported on carbon. Developed by MW Kellogg Company in 1990 and first installed by the Ocelot Ammonia Company (now Pacific Ammonia) at Kitimat, British Columbia, from 1991 to 1992. Another plant was installed at Ampro Fertilizers in Donaldsonville, LA, in 1996. 

Orthoforming A fluidized-bed catalytic reforming process. Developed by the MW Kellogg Company in 1953 and first operated commercially in 1955.
