1.0 PURPOSE
To provide operation staff with the necessary background and information to understand how the
process works, how to prepare the unit for start-up, how to operate it and how to do prepare for
hand over a burner for maintenance and to take over after the maintenance in safe and logical
sequence.

2.0 SCOPE
This procedure is applicable to all Petrorabigh’s Direct Hire employees and Long Term Manpower
attached to Aromatic Complex Unit (R420) of Monomer II Operation Department. This procedure
applies for the activities as specified.

3.0 Definition / Abbreviations

Commissioning : The period when the dynamic verification of the functioning equipment, the
simulation of control loops and safety systems, and the operational tests are carried out.
Commissioning includes also a variety of activities such as cleaning and drying-out of piping systems,
tightness tests, running-in of pumps with inert fluid (water, nitrogen).

SSV: Shift Supervisor in charge while the activity was perform.

CO: Console Operator on duty while the activity was perform.

FO: Field Operator on duty while the activity was perform.

In service: means the system is operational main header and user’s feeder lined up. Each individual
user only is isolated either by block valves, if available, or blinds.

4.0 Process Description

The purpose of this specification is to define the requirement and configuration of a safety
system that ensures safe handover and take over the fired heater burners
The heaters in R420 unit are as below,
1. R420-FR-2130 Xylene Rerun Column Reboiler Heater

2. R420-FR-2330 Toluene Column Reboiler

3. R420-FR-2340 Heavy Aromatic Reboiler

4. R420-FR-2351Transplus Reactor Feed Heater

5. R420-FR-2520 Deheptanizer Column Reboiler

6. R420 Unit Fired Heaters Heater

Fired process heaters require properly designed burners to deliver reliable flames at given
specific conditions of Heat Release Heater Draft and Excess Air by The use of several
 conditions of fuels. C-SRX burners are designed and tested to meet there requirements and
additionally to develop a flame that produces Low NOx emissions and negligible CO traces to
establish very high combustion efficiency. Emission reduction is obtained by fuel stage
mechanism and partly by internal flue gas circulation induced by the burner jet entrainment
on the flame surroundings.
Both system work to lower the peak flame temperature which is major responsible for NOX
formation. Fuel staging delays stoichiometric combustion while recirculated gas mix with the
products of combustion. Heat release is regulated by fuel pressure that is also dependent on
the type of fuel in case of very different fuel molecular weight and calorific value, different
gas tips drilling are suggested to optimize jet velocities and therefore multiple separate fuel
manifolds are provided. Combustion air capacity is a result of heater draft and ambient
conditions and can be adjusted by a manual damper in order to maintain proper excess air at
different heat releases.
The pilot burner ignites the main burner central flame which is then providing proper ignition
condition for the secondary external tips. A central battle is used
To stabilize the central baffle is used to stabilize the central flame.
The burner is made by four parts
- Refractory muffle block
- Air body [wind box] with manual air register and silencer
- Fuel central tips and risers
- Pilot burners

5.0 Health Safety & Environmental Control

5.1 The burner lance may be hot while removal, so proper gloves to be used.
5.2 Removal of the lance may require two person to hold the weight, hence care should be taken.
5.3 Wrong furnace operating conditions may cause formation of CO and Oxygen poor
environment. In case draft is not sufficient, these gas could exit from the burner air inlet
causing poisoning or explosion, a sudden opening of the air dampers may lead to an
explosion Operator hence while opening the air resister the activity should be slow and step
by step.
5.4 Following care of fuel gas/ hydrogen C5 vapors leakage should be taken while handover of
the burner to maintenance.
A. Before removal of the burner lance confirm that the fuel valves to the same burners are
closed properly.
B. DO NOT OPERATE tag is installed.
C. The pressure in the fuel line of the burner is zero.
