Quarterdeck (Hilton New Orleans Riverside)
Description:
This session considers maintenance and reliability topics to improve efficiency and operability of ethylene furnaces. Key topics from the 2008 Furnace Survey presented by the Maintenance and Reliability Subcommittee of the Ethylene Producers’ Committee are discussed. These topics are complemented with topics on the design, maintenance and operation of transfer line and decoke valve systems; fuel supply systems; coil outlet temperature measurement equipment; steam traps, and topics on the repair and reclamation of key equipment.
