A process and apparatus for conditioning atmospheric sea air for subsequent use as process air in floating chemical processing plants. A stream of atmospheric sea air, is injected with a salt-free aqueous spray for dissolving salt particles contained therein. The excess water is then removed by passing the over saturated air stream through a drop separator. The residual intake air is then heated to reduce the relative humidity of the air prior to its passing through a blower.

Process and apparatus for conditioning saliferous atmospheric intake air

The invention relates to a tubular reaction furnace for the indirect heating of crackable fluids, particularly for cracking hydrocarbons used for the extraction of gas rich in CO and H.sub.2. The furnace has a plurality of vertical reaction tubes arranged in a firing chamber which is heated by a plurality of internal burners mounted in the furnace ceiling, the flue gas being withdrawn via an appreciable number of flue gas ducts on the furnace floor. The invention primarily relates to furnaces in which cracking takes place at high pressures and temperatures and which are installed on floating carriers, i.e. floating plant platforms.

Tubular reaction furnace for indirect heating of crackable fluids

The invention relates to a tubular reaction furnace for the indirect heating of crackable fluids, particularly for cracking hydrocarbons used for the extraction of gases rich in CO and H.sub.2, said furnace consisting of a plurality of vertical reaction tubes arranged in a firing chamber with internal fuel-gas burners. The invention primarily relates to furnaces in which cracking takes place at high pressures and temperatures and which are installed on floating carriers such as ships.
