Continuous Operational Tune-up (COT) of process furnaces is the fastest and cheapest option to mitigate CO2 emissions in oil refineries. CO2 emissions in petroleum refineries Process heaters in petroleum refineries consume large volumes of fossil fuels and emit proportional amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Most of these heaters  have a  natural draft design and […]

The importance of human factor on process heater’s reliability. Process furnaces are essential equipment in a refinery. They consume very high volumes of fossil fuels with proportional amounts of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. They are highly expensive equipment that operate with flames at very high temperatures and their failures can be critical to the […]
