Abstract
Many chemical industries need the heating of raw materials, reagents or products for further processing. The heating arrangement based on combustion of fuels should be considered from points of view of not only the calorific value (Kcal of heat available per dollar spent on the fuel) but also safety, ease of handling (including storage arrangements at site) and operation, suitability for the plant, total cost of system, cost of operation and maintenance.
