  10. FOSTER WHEELER STANDARD DESCRIPTION Foster Wheeler has established three “standards” for determining the heater configuration 1. 2. 3. Readily fouls and is considered a difficult feedstock for a single-fired delayed coker heater. It has been run commercially with good results in a Foster Wheeler heater utilizing a double-fired design for difficult feeds. This feed is a vacuum residue from a high conversion ebullating bed hydrocracker. Borderline feedstock that tends toward unacceptable fouling. A double-fired design heater is recommended, but a conservative single-fired heater may be utilized with on-line spalling to achieve acceptable run lengths. This feedstock is a conventional asphaltic vacuum residue. Feedstock exhibiting acceptable fouling with single-fired heater. This feedstock is a light, non-asphaltic vacuum residue. FILENAME

  13. Metallurgy Impact on Run Length • Base Material 9 Cr- 1Mo • Design Metal Temperatures to 1300°F • ‘Base’ Run Length • T91 Material • Design Metal Temperature to 1330°F (Old API 530) • Increased Run Length at Expense of Weldability Issues • 347H SS Material • Design Metal Temperatures to 1500°F • Highest Run Length at Expense of Toughness Issues at Return Bends FILENAME
