Flameless Oxidation for Heating Ethylene Furnaces | AIChE

Flameless Oxidation for Heating Ethylene Furnaces

Flameless Oxidation (FLOX) is a combustion method which was invented and developed 30 years ago in Renningen, Germany.  In this presentation Sebastian provides an overview of the fundamental working principles and provides examples of burner installations in various industries.  The technology is targeted to limit NOx formation in furnaces where combustion air preheat is common. A first commercial installation of FLOX-burners in cracking furnaces of an Ethylene plant is under preparation currently.
