Abstract:
A furnace for performing an endothermic process comprising tubes containing a catalyst for converting a gaseous feed, wherein tubes are positioned in rows inside the furnace, wherein burners are mounted between the tubes and between the tubes and the furnace walls parallel to the tubes row and wherein the burners rows and the tubes rows are ended by end walls and are divided into sections with the distance from the end burner to the end wall being B2W, the distance between two adjacent burners in the section being B2B, and half the distance in-between two sections being B2S, wherein the burners in the rows are arranged in such a way that the ratios B2B/B2W and B2B/B2S are greater than 1.3 thus limiting the occurrence of the flame merging phenomenon and reducing significantly the quadratic mean of the tube temperature profile.

Claim (Index 20):
An endothermic process to be performed in a furnace comprising tubes and burners, said process comprising:\n a) introducing gaseous feed and steam to tubes containing a catalyst for converting a gaseous feed, wherein tubes are positioned in rows inside the furnace, b) combusting fuel with air in burners that are mounted between the tubes and between the tubes and the furnace walls parallel to the tubes row, c) discharging products generated at the lower end of the tubes, wherein the burners rows and the tubes rows are ended by end walls and are divided into sections with the distance from the end burner to the end wall being B2W, the distance between two adjacent burners in the section being B2B, and half the distance in-between two sections being B2S, characterized in that the burners in the rows are arranged in such a way that the ratios B2B/B2W and B2B/B2S are greater than 1.3 thus limiting the occurrence of the flame merging phenomenon and reducing significantly the quadratic mean of the tube temperature profile.
