Introduction
Tube Tech was contracted by a producer of ammonium nitrate products sited in Queensland, Australia. The fully integrated ammonium nitrate facility produces 210,000 tonnes of explosive grade ammonium nitrate every year as it services the Queensland’s mining industry.
The plant had been experiencing performance issues with their steam hydrocarbon reforming furnace due to fouling and was not achieving the required temperatures without additional energy consumption.
Having never been cleaned before, and built in 1998, the facility contracted Tube Tech; the world-leading specialist in convection section cleaning technology.
