High pressure cracking furnace and system
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7200850
A high-pressure furnace for cracking hydrocarbons to produce olefin is described. Long flame burners produce combustion gases to circulate through radiant and convection sections in a furnace under pressure to crack hydrocarbons. Flue gas from the furnace serves to produce high-pressure steam, provide coolant to quench cracked gas, preheat the hydrocarbon-steam feed and aid in driving a turbine-compressor assembly. (auth)
