To properly control the combustion air, O2 and CO must be measured at the top of the radiant section where combustion is completed, regardless of the burner loading. Note that O2 and CO will coexist within the flames, where the temperature may be as high as 1200˚C. Low NOx burners Read more…
The steam methane reforming (SMR) process can be described by two main reactions. The first reaction is reforming itself, while the second is the water-gas shift reaction. Since the overall reaction is endothermic, some heat input is required. This is accomplished by combustion of natural gas or other fuel in Read more…
Process direct fired heaters are super important in a lot of industrial processes, but sometimes, things can go wrong. Here’s what can cause them to fail: Now, let’s look at some signs that the heater isn’t working as efficiently as it should be:
