REMOVABLE LIGHT-OFF PORT PLUG FOR USE IN BURNERS

摘要

An improved burner is described for combusting fuel used in furnaces such as those found in steam cracking. The burner includes a burner tube having a downstream end and an upstream end and a burner tip adjacent a first opening in the furnace, so that combustion of the fuel takes place at the burner tip. The burner also includes a lighting chamber adjacent to the first opening in the furnace and a removable lighting chamber plug having a shape effective to substantially fill the lighting chamber when positioned within the lighting chamber.
