Burner Engineers Work with Refinery to Maximize
Oil Firing with Minimum Cost and Emissions - JZ Case Study #4.101

Hyundai Oilbank Co., Ltd. needed to increase the processing capacity of its No. 2 Crude Distillation Unit located in Daesan, South Korea. However, as operators increased the burner heat release in the heater, the oil-flame length increase created a potential for flame impingement. As an added objective, the refiner wanted to minimize atomizing steam consumption to reduce energy costs.
