Abstract: The purpose of a supplemental natural gas (SNG) plant is to furnish a dependable supply of SNG at a reasonable cost. Hand-in-hand with this is the need for materials of construction that are also dependable and available at a reasonable cost. This balance of reliability and cost is especially critical in the new generation of SNG plants that will employ lower cost feedstocks such as residual oil, coal, and oil shale. The SNG plants having the greatest amount of operating history employ conventional materials of construction and. to a large degree, the process conditions are identical with those of the petroleum refining industry. These plants produce SNG from various liquid hydrocarbons in the naptha, or light gas oil, boiling range. These plants have on occasion suffered material failures that have caused unexpected or prolonged shut-downs.
