Deep gas cuts at month end due to NGC upstream suppliers maintenance activities. Several plants are taking outages so that the ones remaining on line can have full(ish) supply. M5 blew some tubes, hence M2 being placed on line, can't say what is the issue with CNC.

Just stating facts bro. M4 is not, or should not actually, be an anomaly in how to manage a hydrogen Reformer.

Actually you can with proper monitoring and checks. Cycling temps/pressures do reduce tube life, but usually it is operating outside of parameters that gets you.

If i recall, when the govt finally give MHTL back gas to run M4 after they had sent home workers last year, M4 was blowing tubes every week. They kept shutting down, plugging tubes and starting back up until eventually they realise it didnt make sense. That's when they negotiated to have the M4 gas used on M2 instead until M4 finished its TAR this year.
On a related note, M2 only running right now because M5 down. When M5 start back, M2 going offline unless Denovo come online to supply it in time.

Lemme rephrase "M4 never burst any tubes while I was there"

well, apparently if u jam it with nitrogen purge, the little weak spots may fall victim. a guy with a dent on a strong arm.
the max range on the overhead PT was 2barg. it became the fattest part of the N2 header.

Energy Sector Thread - Operators, Engineers, Technicians Et Al

Anyone knows what’s the average salary for a technician working 14 days on /off on one of those offshore platforms for the International companies like bp,shell,bg?

Can anyone put their views/experience about working on the above situation? Pros and cons besides getting horn.
