3.2 Maintaining the M501NH Converter
The M501NH Converter is operated at very high temperature. The center tube in the
converter slowly oxidizes and requires replacement. The most obvious indicator of
failure is no ammonia conversion, despite the converter being at temperature. This is
caused by the oxidized tube breaking off in the converter.

The following procedure describes how to disassemble and replace converter parts.
The various parts in the converter become delicate and brittle after prolonged exposure
to high temperatures. It is therefore a good idea to have a complete set of replacement
parts on hand before starting, as listed in Table 3.1.
