Applications of Oil Refinery Furnaces
Crude Oil Heating
Heating of crude oil to achieve the appropriate feed temperature for downstream separation processes.
Atmospheric Distillation
Process heating for atmospheric distillation units.
Vacuum Distillation
Heating of process media within vacuum distillation units.
Delayed Coking
Heating of feedstocks for delayed coking units; the specific furnace type must be selected based on the coking process design.
Hydroprocessing
Heating of feedstocks for various hydroprocessing-related operations.
Petrochemical Processing
Other process heating requirements within petrochemical plants.
Requirements for temperature, pressure, media properties, and heat load vary by unit; specific applications must be determined based on the process conditions of the individual project.
Features of Oil Refinery Furnaces
Engineered for Specific Refining Conditions
Chunlei Chemical Machinery performs thermal load analysis, heat transfer calculations, and structural design based on the process data you provide. We precisely determine furnace dimensions, tube layouts, and burner configurations to suit your specific requirements.
01
Optimized Configuration of Radiant and Convective Sections
Radiant Section: Utilizes high-temperature radiation within the furnace chamber to transfer heat to the process tubes.
Convective Section: Recovers heat from high-temperature flue gases to further heat the process medium or other applicable fluids.
An efficient heat distribution strategy enhances waste heat recovery, minimizes energy waste, and ensures process heating requirements are met.
02
Material Selection Based on Operating Conditions
We select appropriate tube materials and wall thicknesses based on the furnace's design temperature, operating pressure, the corrosivity of the process medium, coking tendencies, and relevant design codes. For high-temperature or highly corrosive environments, we can incorporate alloy steels or stainless steel as required by the project.
03
Customized Combustion Systems
Chunlei tailors combustion systems to your refinery's site conditions, supporting natural gas, refinery fuel gas, liquid fuels, or dual-fuel configurations.
When selecting burners, we carefully evaluate fuel properties, combustion loads, flame geometry, furnace temperature distribution, and flue gas emission standards to ensure the combustion system is fully integrated with the overall furnace design.
04
Designed for Maintenance and Long-Term Operation
During the design phase, we account for factors such as tube supports, access space for burner maintenance, upkeep of refractory linings, tube inspection, and necessary soot-cleaning provisions-all aimed at simplifying future maintenance.

Main Equipment Components
Direct Factory Access
You can communicate directly with our technical and project teams regarding the parameters, manufacturing requirements, and delivery schedules for oil refinery furnaces, minimizing the risk of information gaps between the design and manufacturing phases.
From Engineering Solutions to Equipment Manufacturing
We design equipment tailored to your specific process conditions and manage the manufacturing process based on finalized technical documentation, ensuring seamless alignment between equipment procurement and your overall project timeline.
Customization for Non-Standard Equipment
If existing standard models do not meet your project's requirements-such as thermal load, installation space, furnace tube configuration, or fuel specifications-we can develop a customized solution to suit your exact needs.
Commitment to Manufacturing Quality and Inspection
In accordance with equipment design specifications and applicable standards, we conduct rigorous quality control, including material verification, weld quality checks, dimensional inspections, as well as mandatory non-destructive testing (NDT) and pressure testing. The specific inspection scope is determined by the equipment structure and the technical agreement.
Comprehensive Project Technical Support
We provide full technical support, including the delivery of technical documentation, coordination on drawings, manufacturing progress updates, assistance with pre-shipment inspections, and guidance for installation and commissioning. For large-scale refinery projects, we are also open to discussing additional engineering service arrangements based on your specific requirements.
Technical Support and After-Sales Service
Pre-sales Technical Consultation: Analyzing process parameters for oil refinery furnaces and assisting in the determination of equipment configuration.
Engineering Drawing Verification: Reviewing equipment dimensions, connection interfaces, and relevant technical requirements.
