Fired heaters have the greatest running cost in a refinery or a petrochemical site. If any one of these heaters is 1% or 2% inefficient it can consume an additional $1MM in fuel over a year or result in millions of dollars in lost revenue. High fuel consumption also translates to high emissions. Units of particular interest include Catalytic Reformers, Steam Methane Reformers (SMR), and Ethylene Furnaces. This whitepaper will discuss solutions to issues in the radiant and convection sections of fired heaters, which affect performance and profitability.

Refinery water and wastewater quality must be closely monitored to meet production goals and regulatory requirements. Process monitoring programs help protect equipment and treatment systems by alerting of any deviations. Monitoring tools are also needed to help increase water reuse onsite and reduce overall water footprint. Real-time data from total organic carbon (TOC) monitoring allows plants to make data-driven decisions from river intake to river discharge to support process efficiency, cost control, and environmental sustainability.

The capture, use and storage (CCUS) of CO2 emissions is becoming an increasingly established part of hydrocarbon processing and the energy industry. Most CCUS applications around the world require compression technology, and Marquis’ upcoming CCS plant in Illinois is no different. The plant is one of the largest dry-mill ethanol production facilities in the world, and when up and running, Atlas Copco Gas and Process-supplied integrally geared centrifugal compressors will play a central role in capturing 1.2 million metric tons of CO2 every year.
