PRE-SHUTDOWN INSPECTION PROGRAM



On-stream inspection is also important to identify problems which can not be seen while the equipment is out-of-service. A discussion with operations and maintenance personnel is highly recommended to identify problem areas. At this time, a review of the operating conditions may also help to indicate problems, such as: O2 percentage, (inability to maintain target O2 could indicate leaks or burner problems), draft (unsteady/pulsating draft can damage heater/boiler components), drum levels, pressures and temperatures.

An infrared scan of the casing can allow a hot spot map to be created so that these areas can be investigated during the maintenance outage. Flame locations and appearance can help identify problems with burner tiles, refractory, and floors. Flames emanating from a portion of floor or wall indicate a problem that needs follow-up inspection. Complete an external inspection to determine condition of the structure, such as buckstays, to look for signs of expansion/buckling. Also, inspect external equipment such as blowdown valves, soot blowers, level gauges, external hangers/rods, insulation, etc. for damage that would need to be addressed at the outage.

Pyrolysis Heaters


Pyrolysis heaters are similar to steam/methane-reforming heaters. The same materials are often used for both. There are a few notable differences. Both Ys and U-bends are used in pyrolysis heaters and suffer erosion. The reaction in the tubes is usually carburizing and requires that the surfaces be smooth from boring or honing and that the material be more resistant to carburization. The material used in pyrolysis heaters is often a modification of a high-strength material that is adequate in reforming heaters.

Box-type Heaters


A box-type heater is a heater whose structural configuration forms a box. There are many different designs for box-type heaters. These designs involve a variety of tube coil configurations, including horizontal, vertical, and arbor configurations.

This type of heater can have locations or zones of  different heat densities. The size and arrangement of the tubes in a box-type heater are determined by the type of operation the heater is meant to perform; for example, crude oil distillation or cracking, the amount of heating surface required, and the flow rate through the tubes. 

Box-type heaters are usually updraft, with gas- or oil-fired burners located in the end or side wall, the floor or downdraft with the roof. After the process convection section tubes, auxiliary tubes are often added to preheat combustion air or to generate or superheat steam. In Figure 2, the convection section is centered in the upper portion of the box-type heater and the radiant tubes are on the two side walls.

Heaters with Vertical Coils, Helical coil, Arbor Coils


Heaters with Vertical Coils
A vertical coil heater may be positioned cylindrical or in a rectangular (box-type heater). Most vertical coil heaters are bottom fired, with the stack mounted directly on top of the heater. Downdraft vertical heaters have also been used.

Heaters with Helical Coils
Helical coil heaters are cylindrical with the surface of the radiant section in the form of a coil that spirals up the wall of the heater. They do not usually have a convection section, but if one is included, the convection surface may be in the form of a flat spiral or a bank of horizontal tubes. The stack of a helical coil heater is almost always mounted directly on top of the heater.

Heaters with Arbor Coils
Heaters with arbor or wicket coils are used extensively in catalytic reforming units for preheat and reheat service and as heaters for process air or gases. These heaters have a radiant section that consists of inlet and outlet headers connected with inverted or upright L or U tubes in parallel arrangement. The convection sections consist of conventional horizontal tube coils.
