Processes integrating electric heaters or other heating sources for heating of liquid and two phase hydrocarbon streams resulting in reduced COemissions are described. The processes shift a portion of the fired heater duty to an electric heater or other heat source. All or a portion of a vapor stream from a two phase separator is heated or superheated by an electric heater or other heat source to provide sufficient temperature that the heated/superheated vapor stream acts as a heat source to a bottom or side draw stream from a column. The preheated bottom or side draw stream is sent to the fired heater.

Heating integration with fired heaters

Processes and apparatuses for heating a feed stream for a reactor which has a charge heater. At least one process stream provides heat so that a pre-heated feed stream passed to the charge heater is a vapor stream. The process stream may be the heated stream from the outlet of the charge heater. Alternatively, the process stream may be the effluent stream from the reactor that has been heated.

Processes and apparatuses for heating a hydrocarbon feed stream for a reactor

A fired heater has two cells segregated by an insulative wall. A first plurality of burners are located in the first cell and a second plurality of burners are located in the second cell. A radiant tube extends from the first cell to the second cell for carrying a fluid material through the heater to heat the fluid material. The flow of fuel to the burners in either the first cell or the second cell can be terminated to accommodate lower heater duty when demand is lower.
