HP Steam Superheater 2 and De-superheater piping spool

The progress report from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals details an inspection of the HP Steam Superheater and De-superheater piping spool at Ma'aden Phosphate Company's Ammonia-1 Plant following an emergency shutdown due to equipment failure. The inspection revealed significant damage, including ruptured coils, oxidization, and deformation of components. Corrective actions involved replacing damaged tubes, elbows, and redesigning components to prevent future failures. The report emphasizes the importance of regular maintenance, material upgrades, and robust design to enhance reliability and efficiency in high-pressure steam systems. Literature reviews support the findings, highlighting common failure mechanisms like creep, oxidation, and corrosion.
