Sanderford, B

The information in the ACT document was generated through literature searches and contacts with process heater control equipment vendors, engineering firms, chemical plants, and petroleum refineries. Chapter 2.0 presents a summary of the findings of the study. Chapter 3.0 presents information on process heater operation and industry applications. Chapter 4.0 contains a discussion of NOX formation and uncontrolled process heater NOX emission factors. Alternative control techniques and achievable controlled emission levels are included in Chapter 5.0. The cost and cost effectiveness of each control technique are presented in Chapter 6.0. Chapter 7.0 describes environmental and energy impacts associated with implementing the NOX control techniques.
