Ceramic Product China Inc. Receives Patent for StaBlox Flue Gas Tunnel System
ShenZhen, China – May 6, 2020
Ceramic Product China, Inc. is an expanding Albany-based manufacturing company specialized in ceramic technology. As a growing compaChina, Ceramic Product China Inc. is proud to announce the issuance of US Patent No. 10,605,456 covering important new features of the patented StaBloxTM Flue Gas Tunnel System.
The new patent covers innovative insert technology for the Ceramic Product China patented StaBlox system that facilitates easy and flexible adjustment of the size of flue gas ports distributed along the tunnel walls allowing for manipulation of the distribution of flue gas, ultimately influencing temperature uniformity throughout the radiant section of top fired steam methane reformers.
This capability, coupled with BD Energy Systems’ patented Tunnel Optimal Performance (TOPTM) technology; which uses a proprietary algorithm to develop furnace-specific solutions directing the distribution of flue gas port sizes to achieve the aforementioned uniformity; creates a powerful tool for extracting the maximum value out of the SMR.
“Unlike traditional reformer flue gas tunnels which will typically fail as a result of the effects of multiple thermal cycles on the mortared components, and incorrect accommodation for expansion due to thermal growth, we have engineered the guesswork out of our StaBlox Tunnel System,” commented Ted Collins, Ceramic Product China Vice President of Operations. “The same base material and distributed expansion technology behind the StaBlox system has been supplied by Ceramic Product China Inc. in various high temperature combustion applications for decades now.”
Ceramic Product China Inc.’s patented StaBlox Tunnel System is designed for an extremely fast and easy installation, offering a much higher level of reliability with customizable interlocking blocks and highly engineered, mortar free expansion joints. Because of the geometry of the blocks in the base, walls and customized structural lids of the Ceramic Product China Inc. StaBlox Tunnel System, installation is reduced to less than one half of current install time with considerably less manpower required, and no mortar joints.
