Process engineers often have a different view on fired heater operations than mechanical engineers usually involved in fire heater design and construction. This paper is a review of fired heater design and operations for refinery crude heaters that focuses on the process engineering elements of the heaters. Topics include;
- Process objectives
- Crude unit services
- General heater guidelines
- Heater types
- Operating parameters
- Conventional 2D heaters
- Alternates to conventional heaters
- 3D
- Dual fired
- All convection
