FLAMELESS TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION HEATER

摘要

In one of the most recent refinery consent decree (CD) settlements, Coffeyville Resources Refining and Marketing, LLC (CRRM) will be required to conduct a demonstration of "Flameless Heater" Technology. Under the CD, the Flameless Technology Demonstration Heater must have a rated capacity of at least 9.5 MMBtu/hr and be capable of operating in the 100% Flameless Firing mode, combined flameless and Conventional Mode, and 100% Conventional Mode. Additionally, the Flameless Technology Demonstration Heater must be capable of NOx emissions of < 0.01 lbs/MMBtu (HHV) per hour at 3% 02 (dry) when operating in Flameless Firing mode (without SCR) and available to operate 95% of the time while being 90% efficient on a lower heating value basis ("LHV") when operating in Flameless Firing mode. The focus of this paper will be to provide the background on flameless technology and outline the CD requirements associated with this flameless technology demonstration. This paper will also provide background and insight on the factors considered in the demonstration heater selection.
