Who should attend?

Audience

- Project or process control engineers in refineries or petrochemical plants, involved in furnace design and performance follow-up.

Level

Advanced

This course provides in-depth knowledge of critical design rules for tubular furnaces used in the petroleum and petrochemicals industries.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
list the main industrial issues of furnace technology, operating conditions and constraints,
structure process data and define key criteria for furnace design,
identify pollution sources and ways to reduce emissions,
specify safety equipment to install on furnace and on different circuits (process, fuels, flue gas…).

Course Content

FURNACE TECHNOLOGY

1 day

Different types of furnaces and selection criteria.
Furnace construction and design codes. Heat Distribution & Furnace efficiency.
Process conditions: fluid characteristics, operating conditions, required efficiency.
Consequences on the furnace technology and tube coil material.
Insulating material: main characteristics, installation and use.

BURNERS - ENERGY CONSUMPTION - POLLUTANT EMISSION

0.5 day

Efficiency of tubular furnaces: design and operating parameters. Different types of burners, selection criteria, combustion performance and flame length. Impact on fuel consumption and operating costs. Pollutant characteristics: Impact of fuel quality and operating conditions on pollutant emissions. Scope for reducing emissions (CO₂, NOx, SOx…).

CONSTRAINTS & DESIGN RULES

1.5 days

Process study: furnace type selection. International standards and codes
Process data: process and auxiliary fluids (water-steam, etc.), operating conditions, efficiency, furnace duty, allowable heat losses, process constraints (coke formation, thermal degradation, etc.).
Fuel selection: combustion mass and heat balance.
Heat exchange area calculation: heat transfer in the radiant and the convection zone, mean/maximum heat flux.
