An integral component of good reliability is routine llips.com
checks on the operation of the furnace/heater.
During routine operation, unit personnel should
perform routine checks operator rounds to inspect
heater operation and condition. These activities are
generally performed by operations personnel during
daily/shift rounds and typically these periodic
inspections include;
- routine heater surveillanceChecks on the , furnace
draft/excess oxygen adjustment, and
- Aassessing heat balance in the heater
- Obseration and adjustment of the flame pattern
- Examination for hot spots, buldges on the tubes
- Examination for refractory damage
7 White, W. Clay YetToVote Section/Clause Editorial Second paragraph, editorial comment Typically, the individual tasks associated with these ConocoPhillips w.clay.white 281 293-1362 United

8 White, W. Clay YetToVote Section/Clause Editorial Editorial comment with additional clarification on sulfidic corrosion The rate of sulfidic corrosion is a function of the ConocoPhillips w.clay.white 281 293-1362 United
amount of the sulfur compound present, the specific @conocophi States
sulfur species/composition and the operating llips.com
temperature. Sulfidation rates are often predicted by
utilizing industry experience or calculations derived
from empirical formulas such as the McConomy
Curves. Sulfidic corrosion rates can be significantly
influenced from the addition of hydrogen in the
process. Often the corrosion rate will be more
localized in the vapor phase of horizontal convection
tubes in Hydrotreating Unit furnaces is greater than in
the liquid phase. Similarly, corrosion from organic acid
can appear localized in turbulent regions or general
thinning in areas. The corrosion rate can be
aggravated by other fluid components constituents
like chlorides,

57 White, W. Clay YetToVote Section/Clause 5.1 Editorial Editorial comment on current state of Reliability Programs 5.1 RELIABILITY PROGRAMS ConocoPhillips w.clay.white 281 293-1362 United
Reliability programs have evolved from inspection only @conocophi States
during unit maintenance outages to risk based llips.com
integrity management programs encompassing on-
stream process tube life monitoring and tube life
prediction, continual heater and boiler efficiency
analyses and increasingly complex detailed and varied
inspections during maintenance opportunities. In the
simplest programs, heater and boiler reliability focus
on preventing failures of the pressure boundary. The
strategy is to prevent leaks and ruptures of the tubes
and in the case of boilers, the drums too. Further
refinements to these programs actively consider the
integrity operating windowons of the key process
parameters for heaters, and boilers and associated
hardware to ensure they are operating optimally and
within safe and reliabileat design levels limits.
