Abstract

The invention provides a nozzle-mixed burner for use in an endothermic process such as hydrogen reforming or ammonia reforming or ethylene cracking or EDC cracking. The burner (20) comprises a fuel duct (24) extending axially through a wall (22) of the furnace. The fuel duct (24) delivers gaseous fuel (G) to an array of nozzles (26) extending laterally to spray the fuel (G) outwardly into an annular chamber (40) defined by a cap (36). Combustion air (A) is delivered to the chamber (40) by way of a primary air duct (30). A convergent-divergent section (32) of the duct (30) and an outwardly divergent section (44) of the chamber (40) together form a radially extending venturi. Combustion of the fuel (G), supplemented by the venturi effect, draws the air (A) through the duct (30) by natural inspiration.

• F23D 14/24 - Non-premix gas burners, i.e. in which gaseous fuel is mixed with combustion air on arrival at the combustion zone with separate air and gas feed ducts, e.g. with ducts running parallel or crossing each other at least one of the fluids being submitted to a swirling motion

Abstract

The loading of crude oil into a storage tank (12) at A causes vent gas comprising a. mixture of VOC and inert gas to be vented from the tank (12) at C. The vent gas is compressed and delivered at D to a burner (32) of a boiler (34). The burner also receives, at F, a supply of oil (14) as a support fuel to provide stable combustion, the supply of oil (14) being adjusted automatically according to the Wobbe Index and flow rate of the vent gas. Steam generated in the boiler (34) from the burning of the fuels is used to heat the oil (14), to counter waxiness, or for other purposes.
