Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a radiant tube formed of a material that meets requirements such as creep strength, ductility and service life in cracking furnaces, preferably furnaces for ethylene cracking.
- H 2 C H 2 C, which constitutes a raw material for the plastics industry.
- the cracking takes place by hydrocarbons being led through a radiant tube, which has been heated by means of surrounding burner to sufficiently high temperature, for instance, about 1,100 °C, for ethylene being formed in the tube.
- the tube usually is made from a FeCrAl material.
- a dense aluminum oxide Al O is formed on the outside and inside of the tube. This oxide prevents Fe contacting the gas flowing in the tube when Fe acts as a catalyst for coke formation in the tube. If coke is formed in the tube, the same is deposited on the inside of the tube, the flow of gas in the tube becoming smaller and the heat transfer to the interior of the tube becoming lower. Coke may also entirely clog the tube.
- a FeCrAl material where it is stated that the creep strength is increased by the fact that the material is alloyed with cobalt, nickel, silicon, manganese, zirconium and titanium as well as a small quantity of yttrium and hafnium, and then the material is heat-treated at minimum 1050 °C until very elongate granules are formed having a length of at least 5 mm and a ratio of length to cross-section of at least 10 to 1. Radiant tubes are manufactured from this material.
- the present disclosure relates to a radiant tube in a cracking furnace, where hydrocarbons are cracked into ethylene in a tube through which hydrocarbons flow, which tube is heated from the outside to a temperature where cracking of hydrocarbons occurs, and is characterized in that the tube is made from a FeCrAl material containing, in addition to Fe, 10 to 25% by weight of Cr, 1 to 10% by weight of Al and 1.5 to 5% by weight of Mo.
- the material comprises up to a total of 2.2 wt.%, preferably up to 2.0 wt.% and more preferably up to 1.0 wt.%, of one or more alloying materials selected from the group consisting of tantalum, hafnium, zirconium, yttrium, mtrogen, carbon and oxygen.
- a radiant tube is found in a cracking furnace, where hydrocarbons are cracked into ethylene in a tube through which hydrocarbons flow.
- the tube is heated from the outside to a temperature where cracking occurs.
- the temperature of the tube, at the inlet end of the gas is 900 °C and at the outlet end 1,125 °C.
- the tube is made from a FeCrAl material containing, in addition to Fe, 10 to 25% by weight of Cr, 1 to 10% by weight of Al and 1.5 to 5% by weight of Mo.
- the material contains smaller fractions of one or more of the alloying materials, tantalum, hafnium, zirconium, yttrium, nitrogen, carbon and oxygen.
- the material comprises up to a total of 2.2 wt.%), preferably up to 2.0 wt.% and more preferably up to 1.0 wt.%, of one or more alloying materials selected from the group consisting of tantalum, hafi ium, zirconium, yttrium, nitrogen, carbon and oxygen.
- the material contains 2 to 3.5% by weight of molybdenum.
- the tube is made from a material having a creep strength high enough that the time to brealc of the tube at a temperature of 1,100 °C and a load of 2.2 MPa exceeds 100,000 hours. This corresponds to substantially a twice as high a creep strength in comparison with tubes made from the material disclosed in the Swedish Patent No. 467 414.
- a cracker tube may typically be 10 to 17 meters long.
- Such a tube consists of two or more tubes welded together in the longitudinal direction. According to a preferred embodiment, the tube is formed in one piece having a length exceeding 10 meters.
- Additional exemplary embodiments of the tube may be varied in respect of the material composition, above all regarding alloying materials having a low percentage in the material.
