HEATING HYDROCARBON PROCESS FLOW USING FLAMELESS OXIDATION BURNERS

摘要

Hydrocarbon streams are heated uniformly and directly using one or more flameless oxidation burners. Flameless oxidation burners may control the temperature within a range of about 500 °C to reduce the tendency to coking due to localized "hot spots". The hydrocarbon streams, which may be monomer streams, may pass cross-current (perpendicular) to burners having a longitudinal design or configuration, or may pass parallel to such burners.
