KS – Fired Heater

Lanemark KS Oil, Gas and Combined Oil & Gas burners provide the process heat for vertically up fired process heaters (Round or Flat Flame).

Advantages of the Lanemark KS-series fired heater petrochemical burner

Stable flame

The KS burners’ stable, tightly controlled flame profile allows a wide range of typically high calorific value fuel gases – such as natural gas, refinery fuel gas and light, medium or heavy oils– to be fired either on their own or in combination, and with a high degree of turndown and flexibility. This ensures burner stability across the full operating range. Waste fuel streams may also be introduced to recover any calorific value they may have.

Low emissions

Low NOx emissions are achieved through both fuel and air staged burner designs, without impacting on turndown, stability or CO emissions.

This is coupled with reduced noise emissions, thanks to:

  • Low to medium combustion air pressure drops
  • The mixing properties of the burner tip
  • Burner tile design
  • Internal acoustic insulation

Various draft modes and fuel gas mixes

KS fired heater burner models include configurations for the combustion air to be supplied to the burner in several modes, all at low excess operation:

  • Natural draft
  • Induced draft
  • Forced draft (where the combustion air can be ambient, preheated or supplied from a gas turbine exhaust)

Furthermore, the burner design can accommodate multiple fuel gases in either a single fuel gas system, where mixed upstream of the burner in any combination, or as separate dual gas systems.

Fuel oil gun options

Fuel oil guns are available as steam (heavy/medium oils) or air (light oil) atomised with interlocked inlet isolation valves. This ensures the correct introduction sequence of atomisation medium first, followed by introduction of fuel oil. The reverse burner shut off sequence is also assured.

Other features of the KS fired heater petrochemical burner

  • Option to incorporate a fixed manual or fully automatic pilot.
  • Flame lengths and widths can be tailored to suit the specific furnace requirements
  • Low excess air operation at design/normal burner loads and higher excess air (typically present during start up and warm standby conditions) combine to meet furnace design requirements.
