A method of monitoring a portion of an equipment under pressure implementing a control station to control an ultrasonic non-destructive testing device through a remote network, includes: the control station sends a first measurement request to the non-destructive testing device; the control station receives a first plurality of measurement data from the non-destructive testing device, constructs a first mapping of the portion of the structure from the data; sends a second measurement request to the non-destructive testing device, receives a second plurality of measurement data from the non-destructive testing device, constructs a second mapping of the portion of the structure, from the second plurality of measurement data, and compares the first mapping and the second mapping.

The invention relates to a process for producing hydrogen from a light hydrocarbon source, in which a synthesis gas is generated by steam methane reforming after desulfurization and optionally pre-reforming of the feedstock. The synthesis gas is enriched with hydrogen by steam conversion of carbon monoxide, and is subsequently purified in a pressure swing adsorption unit to give a pure Hproduct and a residual gas mixture containing CH, CO, Hand CO; in accordance with the invention, the conversion step is performed in a cooled reactor in which the heat of the conversion reaction is transferred to a fluid which feeds the burners of the reformer, or to the gas for reforming.

A reformer tube for producing synthesis gas by steam reforming of hydrocarbon-containing feed gases, in which a structured stream reforming catalyst is used, is proposed. According to the invention, a heat exchanger tube is arranged in the interior of the structured catalyst, with the feed gas stream flowing firstly through the structured catalyst and subsequently in countercurrent through the heat exchanger tube. This improves the heat exchange between the synthesis gas product stream and the structured catalyst and the feed gas stream flowing through it, especially in the radial direction.
