2013 AFRC Combustion Symposium – September 22-25, 2013 – Kauai, Hawaii
Introduction
- Burner retrofits in downfired applications have proven to be challenging projects due to burner spacing requirements and resulting effects on burner flame quality
- As the stringent environmental regulations continue to increase in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), there is a need to replace previous generations of burners with ultra-low NOx burners
- Zeeco’s latest Ultra-Low NOx FREE JET® burner was selected to replace the 234-burner steam methane reformer
GLSF-7 and GLSF-10 FREE JET Burners
- Storage tanks
- Glycol dehydrators
- Glycol dehydrator thermal oxidizer
- Natural gas well operations at well site
- Compressor stations
GLSF-7
GLSF-10
Conclusion
- The GLSF-7 and GLSF-10 Downfired FREE JET Burners installed in the methanol reformer resulted in a decrease in NOx emissions
- After the Zeeco FREE JET Burners were installed, the NOx emissions from the methanol reformer were consistently below 43 ng/J, meeting the KSA’s emissions requirements
