CRACKING FURNACE(HF-301A/B)

Process: Thermal Decomposition

Dry purified EDC is fed to Cracking Furnace where it decomposes into VCM and HCl.

Cracking temperature is 5370C.

Conversion efficiency is 56-60%.

Reaction products and un-reacted EDC are cooled immediately in quench section to minimize coking and reaction reversal.

HCl is separated from EDC and VCM, and sent to Oxy Chlorination Unit.

Subsequently, EDC is separated from VCM and recycled. VCM is sent to Storage.

STACKThe flue gas stack is a cylindrical structure at the top of all the heat transfer chambers.

It collects the flue gas and exhaust it up high into the atmosphere.

The stack damper works like a butterfly valve and regulates draft in the furnace.

SIDE WALL BURNERS

The burner tile is made of high temperature refractory.

Primary & Secondary Air registers are located below the burner. The primary air register supplies primary air to be introduced first in the burner. Secondary air is added to supplement primary air.

Burners include a pre-mixer to mix the air and fuel for better combustion.

S # Job Method Statement

1Furnace radiant section tubes comes in shorter length and pre-fabrication in shops is required to make them as per required length. To make one complete length tube of radiant section we need to join three pieces (two joints) for each tube. It means for 32 tubes there will be 64 joints to be welded in shop.

2 Open six man ways (doors) of furnace, two each on east and west side and two at the roof of radiant section.

3 Construct scaffolding inside and outside the furnace for tubes cutting, removal and re-insertion.

4 Cut old tubes inside radiant zone of furnace (Material SS347, dia 6” sch 80, 50.3 ft long tubes).

5 Cut and remove skin TI’s from old tubes of radiant section, There are nine (09) skin TI’s installed in radiant section on different tubes.

6 Cut and remove tube stoppers

7 Remove cut tubes and U bends from inside furnace and shift old tubes and U bends to designated location. Tubes will be removed from furnace east side

8 Pre Fabrication of new tubes in workshop should be completed. All bevels should be checked by EPCL inspection section before tack welding. Inspection provided WPS must be followed.

9 Perform DPT of root and final pass of all weld joints of new tubes.

10 Shift newly fabricated tubes to lay down area for Radiography Testing.

11 Repair any defect if found in RT. Again shift / return tubes to / from lay down area for re shoot.

12 Shift new tubes in furnace area for insertion in furnace radiant section after successful RT result.

13 Insert new tubes inside furnace and place them on tube tree supports.

2. Carefully remove the fire clothe which protect heat from the opening between roof and Tube Tree carefully. It is binded with SS wire and strip.

3. Install a U-type support H-Beam eye hooks to hang chain block of 10 ton capacity on it.

3. The chain block will lift the tube tree up to 1/4 inch to free the Cast Axle. After removing, a spare cast axle is inserted in place. Clean all parts with kerosene.4. Grease all parts of cast axle and rollers with high temperature ROCOL Anti Seize compound.

5. Now do the same lifting procedure and installed back all parts after greasing.6. Remove U support beam and chain block and reinstall the fire cloth and then canopy.

A Dog leg type joint would be formed between the old and the new refractory

The old refractory would be sprayed with water before new refractory is poured in place

ANCHORS INSTALLATION

Old anchors would be grind off and surface preparation would be made for the installation of new anchors.

The first layer of the dual lining would be formed with the J type stud in place and tape or rubber tubing covering the exposed threads.

The “V” portion wing nut shall then be attached after the first and before the second layer is formed

All anchor weld attachments shall be bend tested. Bend testing shall be performed by bending the anchor in the vicinity of the weld 15-degree and back in the direction of greatest resistance without evidence of failure

REFRACTORY REPAIR WORKActivity Description: Repairing work of refractoryJOB PREPARATIONS & METHOD STATEMENT

A shuttering used for casting refractories would be thoroughly painted with PVC solution, oiled or greased

Material for shuttering would be steel sheet or wood.

Castables refractory is to be mixed in a paddle mixer of 4-12 cubic foot capacity.

Mixers should assure rapid & uniformly mixing. pouring the full batch and clean the mixture from batch to batch

Mixer must be clean. (Some substances found in dirty mixers combine with the cement in Castables can lower the ultimate strength of the Castables)

Potable water fit for drinking should be used in mixing Castables refractories

Temperature of water is maintained between 50°F to 70°F. However, it should never exceed 100°F (38°C). PH value of water should be between 6.0 and 7.5.

For Kastolite-22 for 100 lbs., 6 US gallon of water would be added.

In order to ensure homogenized mixing, first pour about 1/3 of refractory material and 1/3 of water while mixer paddles are in operation. Pour remaining refractory material and water in same sequence ( that is 1/3 in every step) while ensuring homogenized mixing.

The surface of the vessel and adjoining refractory would be sprayed with water before cast able pouring to ensure premature loss of moisture from the mix.

Castables would be poured into forms immediately after they are mixed. In any case should the time between mixing and casting not to be exceed up to 20 minutes

The cast able would not be allowed to dry till 24 hours in order to allow proper curing & to avoid dusting during operation.

All Castables would be vibrated during pouring to avoid air pockets in refractory.

Shuttering would be removed from the refractory surface only after 24 hours of refractory application.

The refractory would be air dried indefinitely after curing and finally dry out would be carried out.

REFRACTORY REPAIR WORKActivity Description: Repairing work of refractory

JOB PREPARATIONS & METHOD STATEMENT

Curing would be carried out at a temperature of about 1000°F during operation (in case of major refractory replacement.

Remove old anchor and weld new anchor when you do full rehabilitation of refractory

Don't patch the cracks that normally occur in the Castables after dry out. These are natural cracks. These cracks should not exceed 1/16” and are needed for expansion.

Large cracks in any moldable lining should be repaired by cutting out the material around the crack to a minimum width of 3” and depth of two inches. Sides to be cut should be tapered to assure a V type anchor for the patching material.

If anchors are exposed, these should be adequately cleaned to effectively retain the patch

S # Job Method Statement for installing Ceramic Wool insulation

1 Arrange required material as per drawing BOM

2 weld anchor on metal surface of wall as per drawing (LH-1044-E-7)

3 Install SS-310 I type anchors with proper WPS CS to SS-310.

4 Install refractory anchor at specified location , Pitch distance as per Drawing

5 Install INSWOOL blanket over I type anchor as per thickness.

6 Place the tope lock over I type anchors

7 Apply the high temperature mortar paste over the anchor lock to protect from heating and burning.

Quality Testing of refractory

Hammer test would be carried out on the newly installed refractory.

The lining shall be struck with a 1lbs ball point machinist hammer over the entire surface after 24 hrs.

Approximate spacing for striking shall be 12” for AP-Green 94 Plus and 20” for other low density materials.

If problems are detected visually or by hammer impact sound, closer spacing shall be used to delineate the size of the defect. Voids large than 6”x6” and any sort of dry fill areas that reduce the effective lining thickness by more than ¼ of the original thickness shall be considered defective and shall be repaired.

If refractory is inspected after complete dry out, areas containing cracks greater the 1/16in (1.5mm) are considered defective and shall be repaired
