Sizing a burner
Sizing a burner
(OP)
Hi All,
As a rule of thumb,how much natural gas(CH4) do you require in a burner....
Q.1
I am burning 100kg/hr of H2S and using the stoichiometric ratio i can calculate how much air do I require to burn off the H2S.
The problem is I do not know how much natural gas and air do I require for this reaction,hence I ask as a rule of thumb,how much natural gas do I require?

RE: Sizing a burner
If you want to calculate the air required to burn natural gas, you can use the method you used to calculate burning of H2S.
If you want to size a burner, you need to define the duty required for the burner and contact with burner vendors
RE: Sizing a burner
The heat of combustion of your methane stream has to be enough to keep the proper temperature within the furnace (heating the air and H2S streams as well as the walls) to burn/oxide the H2S at the right temperature anytime, while not being too much when you get a heat peak due to high H2S load burning.
