TUBE FURNACE

Description of the device The subject of description concerns the tube furnace for heating the regeneration gas used for regeneration of bed adsorbers on two process lines of natural gas denitrification plant. The furnace can replace the old, worn out one taking the total functionality of process.

The radiation part is the vertical cylinder equipped with four support tubes adapted to embed the heat excharger.

The conventional heat excharger due to the condition of maximum flow resistance through the furnace (≤ 14kPA), is constructed as a system of 18 parallel streams with low flow velocity of several meters per second.

Furnace construction Vertical cylindrical furnace equipped with radiation and convection part, mounted on a building on four existing concrete foundation piles (180x180mm)of the spacing of the diagonal of 2550mm. convectional heat excharger

Furnace operation control The furnace has been equipped with security and control and measurement instrumentation (technological blockings).

The AKP instrumentation is localized outside the furnace in order to be available for any operation or maintenance from a fixed platform. Due to the furnace work in hazardous area 2 (methane)an ATEX realization has been adopted. IIB T1 zone.

Air curtain is the safety margin against breaching the acceptable operating temperatures by the excharger's walls, it allows, at the same time, to set the suitable pressure in the furnace. The temperature of gas and air mixture measured behind the air curtain should not exceed 850C.
