HEATER RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT
Level 1: Perform preventive maintenance:
Maintain the burners : air and fuel inlets are in proper state
Clean the exchange surface
Level 2: Ensure flame shapes and dimensions fit the heater geometry:
Flames shall be stiff and between half & two third of radiant length
Draft and excess air at their design values
Level 3: Reduce the heat flux by increasing the coil surface:
Add tubes in radiant section
Add tubes in convection section
Add extended surface (fins or studs) on the convection tubes

HEATER RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT
CASE STUDY 1: CRUDE HEATER
Description: Forced draft box heater with vertical tubes and high capacity burners
Problem: High heat flux, flame impingement and therefore regular coking in radiant section
Proposed modifications :
Increase the coil surface to reduce the heat flux
Replacement of burners with more smaller ones
Modify the ducts for better flame shapes

HEATER RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT Retained scope of revamping :
Addition of tubes in the radiant section
Replacement of the existing convection with a new one having a new configuration
Modification of the flue gas ducts between the radiant & convection sections
Modification of the burners to have thinner flames

HEATER RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT Crude heater revamping was performed in 34 days turn-around and allowed :
Reduction of heat flux in radiant section by more than 12%
Flame impingement cancellation

Reasons:
Feed modification
Increase flowrate
Lower inlet temperature
Higher outlet temperature
Different solutions can be applied:
Increase heater coil surface in radiant
section
Modify or replace convection section
Modify or replace the burners
