Abstract – Micromanagement of Furnaces Page 1 of 2 Micro-management of Furnaces Significantly Enhances the Runlength of Pyrolysis Furnaces - Nihar Gulwadi, Project Development, Ingenero - Jim Brigman, Executive VP - Projects, Ingenero The furnaces are critical equipment in the production of Ethylene and the fuel consumption by the furnaces is one of the most significant costs of production. The fouling (coking) of the furnaces leads to outages for decoking which directly result in loss of production and cost for decoking. Micromanagement & deviation analysis of the furnaces and control of the firing pattern leads to uniform coking in the furnace resulting in increased runlength. Case Study: The average runlength of a furnace making ethylene from ethane feedstock i
