Flue gases losses due to H2in Fuel.
Heat loss due to burning hydrogen
in fuel can be a high portion in fluegases
This amount of energy might not
appear in the analysis of energy

were chosen.
However they exist in flue gasesand can be recovered.

Efficient combustion requires the correctair/fuel ratio and adequate mixing
High excess air levels result in Dilution of the flue gases due to increasing of the
total air supplied.
Reduction in flue gas temperature.
Reduction in heat transfer rate.
Increasing in flue gas losses.
Reduction in combustion efficiency.
Low excess air operation can cause unburned hydrocarbons to discharged
leads to fuel wastage,
reduce throughput,
poor product quality,
excessive emissions and/or structure damage to the furnace.

Waste Heat Recovery
For Propane, energy saving by 20C
recovery from flue gases isapproximately ranging between0,7% and 1,5% depending on thelevel of excess air in thecombustion process
Rule of thumb: 20C reduction of Tg 1% increase in efficiency

Waste Heat Recovery Up to 50% energy saving is possible, payback (1 5 years).
Economy: The retrofit modification is more applicable to large,continuous furnaces and least applicable to smaller, intermittent
ones. The heat sink can be to the furnace itself by raising the
combustion air temperature.1- flue gas recuperation
2- self recuperative burners
3- flue gas regeneration4- stock recuperation
Lower Tg will reduce problems after chimneyX higher combustion air higher flame temperature increase
Nox.
Rule of thumb: 20C reduction of Tg 1% increase in efficiency

Regenerative Burners
Uses a short-term cyclic heat storage device asthe means of achieving waste heat recovery.
Efficiency ~ 6595%
Combustion air preheated to very hightemperatures, up to 50 degrees belowthe furnace operating temperature.
! NOx emission can be very high.?!! Flame temperature is very high.?!
(But can be reduced if the right combustiontechnology is used)

Refractory and Insulation Consideration for selecting refractory:
1. Maximum operating temperature
2. Efectiveness as insulator:
3. Thermal mass (LTM); Ceramic fibber,specially for intermittent furnaces
4. Corrosion resistance
5. Errosion resistance
6. Coefficient of expansion
7. Longevity: replacement is expensive.

Improving FurnaceYield
Furnace yield: quantity of usable product per unit feedstock.Increase furnace yield Increase throughput and Minimize waste
There is often a trade off between throughput and product quality
Throughput is limited byLoading and unloading
Rate of heat transfer
Upstream and downstream processes
Measures to increase furnace yield:
Optimise the furnace operation for maximum yield furnace. Consider otherprocesses when scheduling furnace operation.
Feedstock must be on-spec to prevent wasted firing.
Ensure the correct temperature profile and furnace atmosphere.
Continually monitor the yield by weighing the feedstock and product.
Monitor the key variables that affect throughput and product quality
Use effective Quality Assurance techniques, e.g. hot inspection.
