Abstract: Process to reduce the temperature of a hydrogen and carbon monoxide containing gas by contacting the gas with a metal alloy surface having a lower temperature than the temperature of the gas, wherein the metal alloy surface comprises between 0 and 20 wt % iron, between 0 and 5 wt % aluminium, between 0 and 5 wt % silicon, between 20 and 50 wt % chromium and at least 35 wt % nickel, wherein the metal alloy surface maintains it lower temperature than the temperature of the gas by making use of coolant water.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide containing gas from a gaseous hydrocarbon feedstock by performing the following steps: (a) partial oxidation of part of the feedstock thereby obtaining a first gaseous mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide; and, (b) catalytic steam reforming of part of the gaseous feedstock in a Convective Steam Reformer having a tubular reactor provided with one or more tubes containing a reforming catalyst, wherein the exterior of the tubes of the tubular reactor is used to cool the hot gas as obtained in step (a) and wherein the exterior of the tubes is a metal alloy surface having between 0 wt % and 20 wt % iron.

Abstract: Process to provide a surface with a fire-proof and/or wear resistant lining comprising the following steps: a) mechanically fixing anchoring means to the surface, which anchoring means are pre-coated with a coating that melts at a temperature in the range from 40 to 100° C.; b) applying a lining material onto the surface provided with the anchoring means; c) curing the lining material to obtain a solid mass; d) drying the lining, to a temperature at least sufficient to melt the coating on the anchoring means, to obtain a fire-proof and/or wear resistant lining. Anchoring means used in the process.
