Abstract

A Praxair é uma das três maiores empresas de gases industriais do mundo, com atuação em mais de 40 países. No Brasil, a Praxair é a controladora da White Martins, maior empresa de gases industriais da América do Sul, presente em nove países do continente e em toda a indústria siderúrgica brasileira, seja operando e fornecendo os produtos das plantas de separação dos gases do ar ou outros produtos e serviços para todos os processos siderúrgicos. Além de tecnologias de produção dos gases atmosféricos, a White Martins também atua na produção de gás carbônico, acetileno, hidrogênio, gases especiais e medicinais, misturas para soldagem, cilindros de aço sem costura, transporte e armazenamento de gases, equipamentos para medição e controle de injeção de gases, seguindo os mais rígidos padrões de segurança e de qualidade. O presente trabalho visa descrever as modificações, ganhos de confiabilidade e disponibilidade obtidos com a implementação de sistemas de controle operacional dos RHX, equipamentos comumente encontrados nas plantas de separação de ar, que permitiram melhor monitoração e aumento da vida útil destes trocadores e consequentemente da pureza dos produtos fornecidos para fabricação de aços de alta qualidade.

 

Praxair is one of the three largest industrial gases companies worldwide, with operations in over 40 countries. In Brazil, Praxair is the owner of White Martins, the largest industrial gases company in South America, present in nine countries on the continent and throughout the Brazilian steel industry, operating and supplying products from plants for separation of air gases or other products and services for all steelmaking processes. In addition to technologies of production of atmospheric gases, White Martins includes the production of carbon dioxide, acetylene, hydrogen, specialty and health & care gases, mixtures for welding, gas seamless steel cylinders, storage and gases transportation, equipment for measurement and control of gas injection, following the strictest standards of safety and quality. This paper describe the improvements, availability and reliability gains achieved through implementation of operational control systems of RHX, equipment commonly found in air separation plants, which allowed better monitoring and increasing the useful life of these heat exchangers and to keep the purity of the products supplied for the manufacture of high quality steels.
