PROPOSE
The propose of this document is to identify and establish the basic requirements and sequence of
operations necessary to the receiving, fabricating and assembling of the main elements that
constituting the Reformer;
Other aim is to have an overall idea of the field fabrication and lifting maneuvers in order to aid TR
and Subcontractor to predict with much accuracy the manpower and Cranes required;
This document does not overrule specific details or special installation instructions on TECHNIP
drawings and in specifications. Moreover, Vendor's installation specification and/or instructions must
always prevail and followed;
For detail instructions see TECHNIP drawings and Sub Vendors installation manuals;
WORK DESCRIPTION
The work consists of the construction of one Reformer at PETRONAS RAPID PROJECT.

Before welding of the refractory-lined transfer-line it shall be carefully checked that the alignment
of the process gas boiler and refractory lined transfer line has been performed in full accordance
with TECHNIP engineering documents;
In addition, a check shall be performed, that there is sufficient clearance for expansion, insulation,
supports and instruments in accordance with TECHNIP installation rules;
Just after final position of the Transfer-Line versus the Process Gas Boiler have been confirmed
can be fitted the Catalyst Sub-Header up to the Transfer-Line;

The inlet system of a reformer comprises of an inlet expansion loop, the inlet main header and
inlet sub-headers and pigtails.
Thereafter the prefabricated pigtails shall be installed and after the correct position and the free
expansion of each pigtail, taking into account the insulation thickness, has been verified, the pigtail
can be welded to the catalyst tubes, as well as to the sub-header.
Installation of the inlet main header and expansion loop including supporting can be executed
thereafter.
Finally the connection pipes in between the main header and sub-header are to be fitted and
welded.
