Plant Energy Saving through Efficient Retrofit of Furnaces

Original language description

Tubular process furnaces belong to energy demanding equipment in the process industry, especially in the chemical and petrochemical process plants and refineries. Several ways of energy saving in plants like these usually exist. Retrofit of furnaces canbe considered as one of straightforward and efficient ways. Hovewer, operational and geometrical constraints of an existing furnace are the reasons from which the retrofit of a furnace is a very difficult task. Therefore the process retrofit is usually ffocussed on heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit considering maximum furnace duty. Nevertheless, the furnace retrofit should be considered wherever possible. In some older plants the placement of new shells or topology changes in heat exchanger networkscan be expensive from various reasons and only minimum topology modifications are usually allowed. The furnace retrofit procedure described in the paper is based on an advanced furnace integration approach using some principles of Pinch
