Abstract
Radiant fired heaters used with reactors are described. The apparatus includes at least two sets of radiant fired heaters, the first set being at a second height less than the first height. Each set of radiant fired heaters comprises at least one radiant fired heater. Each radiant fired heater has at least one process coil disposed within the heater, burners, and a flue gas outlet. There is at least one inlet manifold having an inlet and multiple outlets, with each outlet of the inlet manifold in fluid communication with one process coil inlet. There is an outlet manifold having multiple inlets and an outlet, with the multiple inlets in fluid communication with the process coil outlets. A method of selecting a reforming apparatus arrangement is also described.
