Abstract
An olefin production system having a pyrolysis furnace that is configured to thermally crack hydrocarbon feedstock into olefins and a fuel gas system having a hydrotreater system that is configured to hydrogenate process gas. The pyrolysis furnace has a burner and the fuel gas system is configured to supply the hydrogenated process gas as fuel gas to the burner.
Claims21
An olefin production system comprising:
- a pyrolysis furnace configured to thermally crack hydrocarbon feedstock into olefins, the pyrolysis furnace having a burner;
- and
- a fuel gas system comprising a hydrotreater system configured to hydrogenate process gas, the fuel gas system configured to supply the hydrogenated process gas as fuel gas to the burner.
A furnace system comprising:
- a furnace including a burner;
- and
- a hydrotreater system to hydrogenate unsaturated compounds in fuel gas supplied to the burner of the furnace.
A method of producing olefins, the method comprising:
- receiving feedstock;
- thermally cracking the feedstock in a pyrolysis furnace to give olefins;
- receiving process gas;
- and
- hydrotreating the process gas for supply as fuel gas to a burner of the pyrolysis furnace.
2 more elements
A fuel system comprising:
- a process fluid header configured to receive process fluid;
- and
- a hydrotreater reactor configured to hydrogenate unsaturated hydrocarbons in the process fluid to give a treated process fluid, wherein the fuel system is configured to supply the treated process fluid as fuel to a burner of a furnace.
