Basic: Fired Heater Control

The document discusses advanced control strategies for fired heaters. It describes basic fired heater control involving coil outlet temperature, firing, skin temperature, and pass balance control. It then shows more complex control using a Wobbe index analyzer or specific gravity analyzer to account for variability in fuel heating values. Advanced controls aim to tightly regulate process temperatures despite fuel variations or constraints by modulating burners and measuring flue gas properties.
