Process-limited fired heaters that operate below design capacity represent significant lost opportunity costs. Fired heaters are the largest fuel consumers in a refinery, emitting an estimated 400 to 500 million tons of CO2 every year, so even minor improvements in their efficiency can lead to significant savings. To put it into perspective, if any fired heater is 1 or 2% inefficient, it can consume an additional $1M in fuel over a year. Learn More
