Hydrogen halides reactions
Q: I want to know in what ways the hydrogen halides forms in incineration if it contains halogen gases at high temperatures. I am confused about the reactions, i.e. H2 + x2 = 2HX or if there are no hydrogen gas and steam is available, then H2O + X2 = 2HX + 1/2O. Please comment on the above reactions.
A: At high temperature, hydrogen gas would have a tendency to react with chlorine gas to form HCl. It would not have a high conversion rate. The reaction of water with chlorine with water to HCl would not proceed in that direction. In fact, HCl and oxygen would have a tendency to react and proceed to chlorine and water.

Can you explain buoyant thermal force?
In flare tips, we know at minimum flow at low velocity and with no wind the flame of the flare tip is almost vertical. If the wind velocity increases the flame goes horizontal.
We need to explain to our client why this happens. We only know this is a phenomenon called buoyant thermal force, but we do not know the background and governing equations of this behavior. Can you explain?
Can you suggest routine checks for a furnace?
We have a Foster-Wheeler-designed furnace for reforming natural gas. The furnace is induced draft and has two chambers. Can you suggest routine checks an operations engineer must do during normal operation?
Is soot-blowing still applicable?
Is soot-blowing still applicable when natural and or fuel gas with <0.05 wt percentage H2S and <0.1 C6+ is being fired? To me this is a waste of money if the frequency is once a day. On other furnaces and boilers the convection sections are being cleaned every five years with the same fired fuel. I need to convince the owners.
What safety requirements are necessary for a fuel switchover on a furnace?
We have a natural draft furnace designed to use the fuels hydrogen, natural gas and LPG. In the event of a fuels changeover while the furnace is on-line, what are all the safety instruments and controls that should be considered to safeguard the equipment and operating personnel?
Is there a formula to calculate how much wood was present prior to burning?
Is there a formula for calculating remaining wood as residue to calculate how much wood was present prior to being burned? And if so, could the formula be used on remaining wood ash residue that has been exposed to the elements for seven months?
