• Excess-air control settings should also be fine-tuned, ensuring that oxygen levels are kept slightly above the minimum requirement to support combustion while preventing unnecessary fuel consumption and heat loss. 

Industrial olefins furnaces play a critical role in petrochemical and refining operations, serving as the backbone of ethylene and propylene production. These high-temperature systems must operate with maximum efficiency, reliability, and safety to ensure consistent output and minimize costly downtime. Proper maintenance is not only essential for prolonging the life of these furnac...
