NOx formation and Flame Behavior in Ethylene Furnaces are a result of burner characteristics, heat transfer and firebox fluidynamic flow patterns. This paper describes the use of CFD coupled with rigorous combustion and NOx formation reaction kinetics to simulate the flame behavior and NOx emission of the latest generation of Ultra Low NOx Burners in a Technip designed modern ethylene furnace
