Zeeco takes a look at refinery combustion equipment using the latest emissions control technologies, including highly efficient burner designs and reliable, environmentally sensitive flaring technology.

The majority of new combustion equipment installations in the refining worldwide consist of new individual pieces of equipment, or sometimes systems, installed into an existing or expanding plant. Many retrofit and revamp applications are driven by emissions control efforts and meeting ever tightening regulations; nearly all must be done with emissions targets in mind. Given the industry’s necessary emphasis on new equipment installed into existing facilities, it is easy to lose sight of the possibilities that exist in a new plant, built from the ground up with the latest in combustion technology. This article looks at refinery combustion equipment using the latest emissions control technologies, including highly efficient burner designs and reliable, environmentally sensitive flaring technology. In addition, the discussion covers flare gas recovery systems and ultra-low NOX burners in a sulfur recovery unit (SRU) thermal oxidizer system.
