A method for projecting radiation chamber representing an up-to-date method for projecting reaction furnaces based on modelling is described. The project is divided into a preliminary balance calculation, a method for projecting radiation chamber tube system and a simulation calculation of thermal chemical processes. The applicability of the model is illustrated by means of an example. Also principles for projecting radiation chambers of reforming furnaces as well as application spheres of the model to projecting practice are referred to.

An application of a fuzzy expert system intended for estimating some parameters of steam reforming can also be one of the examples of an ever increasing utilization of expert systems in practice. The present contribution deals with the method making use of a verified mathematical model for simulating thermal chemical processes in reforming furnace radiation chamber in order to create knowledge base. This base includes linguistic values of selected independent and dependent variable quantities. Examples given illustrate an evaluation of dependent variable quantities (methane conversion into carbon dioxide and monoxide, reaction tube service life) by means of the said expert system based on queries.

Collaborations between academia and industry are vital for modern industrial research and development projects, combining the best of both worlds to develop sustainable chemical processes. Herein we summarize a number of successful cooperations between DSM Nutritional Products and Swiss academic institutions that have been carried out over approximately the past decade. A wide variety of reactions and processes have been investigated with experts located in Switzerland. New synthetic routes, chemical transformations and reactor concepts have been developed to produce industrially relevant compounds. Additionally the scope of known catalytic systems has been probed and new catalysts showing improved selectivity have been designed, synthesized and tested. We describe how the research was supported by DSM, the parallel in-house investigations and also how the projects were continued and further developed.

By means of a mathematical model simulating thermal chemical processes taking place in primary reformer radiation chamber, the influence of selected parameters on main characteristic quantities in steam reforming process was investigated. The parameters were divided into inlet parameters on flue gas side, inlet parameters on reaction mixture side and those of radiation chamber geometry. As main characteristic quantities outlet temperature of reaction mixture, maximum temperature of reaction tubes outer surface, outlet temperature of flue gases, absorbed heat, methane conversion into carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide as well as temperature distance from equilibrium were chosen.
