Abstract:
A fired heater with a film temperature optimizer is presented. The fired heater is for heating a process fluid in process coils within the fired heater. The process coils experience high temperatures at the outlets. The film temperature optimizer includes baffles or means for changing the flow of the fired heating gas around the process coils near the coil outlets. The baffles are positioned near the process coil outlets.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing a hydrocarbon stream are described. The method includes heating a feed stream in a convective bank. The heated feed stream is reacted in a first reaction zone to form a first effluent, which is heated in a first radiant cell. The first radiant cell combusts fuel to heat the first effluent and forms a first exhaust gas. The first exhaust gas is contacted with the convective bank to heat the feed stream. The outlet temperature the heated feed stream from the convective bank is controlled by introducing an additional gas stream into the convective bank. There can be additional reaction zones and radiant heaters.
Abstract:
An apparatus for a fired heater is presented. The fired heater is designed with process coils inside a shell, and with a positioning of the burners for reducing the size of the fired heater. The shell has a general rectangular prismatic shape with combustion inlets for admitting combustion gases from the burners, and the process coils include at least two inlet ports and at least one outlet port.

Abstract:
A radiant wall burner apparatus. The apparatus includes an orifice for the introduction of fuel gas into an elongated mixing conduit for the directional flow and mixing of the fuel gas with combustion air provided through an inlet. The fuel gas and air mixture terminates through an adjustable burner tip. The radiant wall burner apparatus and burner tip allow for a two-leaf, adjustable radiant wall burner tip design that is less susceptible to heat deformation, flashback, and self-destruction, having fewer manufacturing issues, and having the capability to use hydrogen as a fuel source.

Abstract:
A thermal radiation shield and combustion air controlled enclosure assembly. The assembly encloses a ground flare or flares and includes a plurality of structural supports at an obtuse angle to grade. Panels extend between the structural supports surrounding the ground flare wherein the panels are at an obtuse angle to grade.
