A Guide to Maintaining Industrial Olefins Furnaces

The 3 kEys  Begin with a thorough visual inspection of all major components, checking for wear, damage, and any abnormal signs such as leaks, discoloration, or carbon buildup.  Examine the burner system thoroughly for wear and damage, with special attention given to ignition systems and pilot burners.  Excess-air control settings should also be fine-tuned, ensuring […]

Operational Strategies for Cost-Effective Olefins Furnace Optimization

The 3 kEs  Optimizing process fluid preheating is one of the most effective ways to improve the energy efficiency of olefins furnaces.    Regular inspection and cleaning mitigates against the effects of deposits accumulating on heat exchanger surfaces.  Inattentiveness here results in less heat recovered, forcing the furnace to consume more fuel to maintain process conditions.

Strategies for Unlocking Energy Efficiency in Olefins Furnaces

The 3 kEys  Increase the capacity of each furnace, thereby reducing the total number of furnaces in use. This simplification not only lowers maintenance and capital costs but also concentrates energy sources for greater heating efficiency.  Preheat the feedstock using recovered heat from flue gases or other process streams.    Upgrade to advanced coil geometries that
