Standard for distance of receiver to open burner
Standard for distance of receiver to open burner
(OP)
Hi guys,
I'm facing a problem with regards to location of receiver. Project team says that the location of new receiver is safe enough (which is next to an open burner - a hot oil heater) but the operation team says otherwise. Therefore, could anyone help me by guiding me to which standard or code that is available that will solve the problem??
TQ

I had a boss once who said "no one can make a bad idea work but anyone can make a good idea fail". JLSeagull has it right, if the operators don't like it then it is a doomed concept. The Project Team really shouldn't get a vote since most (or all) of them will have moved on to the next project by the time the the first pig is run.
Can you rotate the closure end to get it pointed in a better direction?

zdas04,
The wind direction is always towards the burner. it is still the best way to shift the location.
JLSeagull,
Yes, the entire operation team says no to that and they are dead not comfortable with that design.
