Malhotra, K.
Kapil Malhotra is a Heat Transfer Engineer at S&B Engineers and Constructors. He has more than 20 yr of experience in the design, engineering and troubleshooting of fired heaters, combustion systems and thermal equipment. Malhotra has also authored several technical papers on heat transfer. He earned an MS degree in mechanical engineering from Oklahoma State University.
Design considerations and decarbonization options for fired heaters
As greenhouse gas emissions policies and regulations become more stringent, carbon dioxide emissions have taken center stage, with many nations targeting net-zero carbon emissions.
Rethink fired heater design for emissions
As environmental regulations are becoming more stringent on reduced nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide emissions, burner designs are changing to meet revised regulations. The heater design must complement the chosen burner for optimal performance. Although design duty is considered to be the main focus of the heater design, the range of heater operation and its impact on heater safety and emissions needs are often neglected.
Rethink specifications for fired heaters
Fired heaters are essential and important major pieces of equipment in a process plant.
Improve the operation of fired heaters
Fired heaters or “process furnaces” are used extensively by the refining and petrochemical industries. These heat transfer units generate the much needed process energy through the combustio..
