  • Remote monitoring of fired heaters
    Patent number: 11365886
    Abstract: A chemical plant may include one or more fired heaters for heating of process streams. A fired heater may include a direct-fired heat exchanger that uses the hot gases of combustion to raise the temperature of a process fluid feed flowing through tubes positioned within the heater. Fired heaters may deliver feed at a predetermined temperature to the next stage of the reaction process or perform reactions such as thermal cracking. Systems and methods are disclosed to optimize the performance of fired heaters or reduce energy consumption of fired heaters.

  • Staged fuel burner
    Patent number: 11105502
    Abstract: A insert for a staged fuel burner and processes for using a burner with the insert. The insert has a burner tip that injects a mixture of primary fuel and combustion air into a combustion zone to produce a flame. A staged fuel is also injected into the combustion zone. Prior to being injected into the combustion zone, from the burner tip, the staged fuel, is injected into the burner tip and draws combustion air from the mixer of the burner insert into the burner tip with the staged fuel.
