Quantifying flare combustion efficiency using an imaging fourier transform spectrometer | 2022 | Mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) hyperspectral imaging may be used to calculate the flare combustion efficiency from standoff measurements, without requiring any information about the fuel flow rate to the flare. Species column densities are found using a spectroscopic model, which is combined with a ... | |

Radiant wall burner design improvements for retrofit applications | This paper explores solutions to challenging radiant wall burner retrofit applications. For example, a significant challenge facing the combustion industry today is being able to bring old technology into compliance with new regulations without sacrificing performance. Many existing radiant wall bur... | ||

Reduced order model of a lime kiln for fuel switching | The lime kiln is an essential part of the causticizing loop in the kraft pulp mill. It is also the last operating unit that routinely fires fossil fuels like natural gas and fuel oil. Displacing these fossil fuels with biomass like bark or sawdust is done, as is firing lignin extracted from black li... | ||

Simulation of the thermal-acoustic coupling inside an industrial hazardous waste incinerator | To analyze the coupling between combustion reactions and the natural acoustic behavior of a reactor, a transient LES based CFD code has been used. Previous transient analysis of ignition inside large process heaters, of multi-tipped elevated gas flares and waste incinerators has shown the ability of... | ||

Texas progress in flaring - 6 years of emissions data 2015 through 2020 | 2020 | Following nearly a decade of flare performance inquiry, modeling, and testing in the early 2000s, new United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) flare regulations have been enacted for the petroleum refinery sector in 2012 and 2015. The stated objective of these new regulations was th... | |

Using numberical simulation to diagnose boiler tube failures | A VU-60 type boiler has been commissioned in 1999 for a water desalinization plant. It is used for the production of 369 tonne/hr of saturated steam at pressure of 22 barg. Natural gas is fired through six front fired burners which can be adjusted in the field to obtain an appropriate flame shape fo... |
