Abstract
Alzeta Corporation has developed various
process heating applications using the Pyrocore
burner. Applications to immersion fluid heating
have been in use for several years. An advanced
process heater is also being developed. These
processes take advantage of the uniform radiant
heating feature of the burner to produce compact,
efficient equipment. In addition, the burner provides
very low NOx emissions and none of the
aerodynamic combustion noise associated with
conventional flame burners. This paper describes
these two applications: 1) firetube immersion
heaters and 2) an advanced process heater to be
installed at an oil reprocessing facility in
Newark, California.
