The heat duty of the flue gas cooler is calculated using the total mass flow rate of flue gas, the specific heat of flue gas, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the flue gas cooler. The total mass flow rate of flue gas is determined by adding the mass flow rates of air, fuel gas, coke burned, and other sources. The specific heat is obtained using an online simulation based on the flue gas composition. Potential errors arise from uncertainties in the plant air flow rate and outdated flue gas composition data.

Flue Gas Side Heat Duty Calculation:-
Heat Duty = Total Flue Gas Mass Flow Rate*Specific heat of Flue Gas*Temperature Difference
1. Total Flue Gas Mass flow rate calculation:-
Note:- As no direct instrument tag is provided for Flue gas flow rate we need to carry out Mass Balance as below.
Total flue gas to FGC inlet will be the sum of:-
1. Total MAB air to Regenerator
2. Total Plant air(PA to MAB discharge, To all inst. Purge) 3. Total Expansion PA to Regenerator 4. Coke which is converted into flue gas 5. Total Fuel gas to CO-Oxidizer 6. Total FD fan discharge air
So…..
Total Flue Gas to FGC calculation
Density of Air at NTP 1.2754 Kg/M3 Value Unit Value Unit NM3/ Total MAB air to Regenrator 167162.47 Hr 213199 Kg/Hr NM3/ 263.982 MAB air to Hopper -206.98 Hr 3 Kg/Hr NM3/ 16666.8 Expansion PA to Regenrator 13067.96 Hr 8 Kg/Hr NM3/ 10468.4 Total Plant air 8208 Hr 8 Kg/Hr NM3/ 117923. FD fan Discharge Air to CO-Oxidizer 92459.92 Hr 4 Kg/Hr Main Fuel Gas air to CO-Oxidizer 1072 Kg/Hr 1072 Kg/Hr 17727.7 Amount of Coke burned in Regenerator 17727.72 Kg/Hr 2 Kg/Hr 377321. Total Approximate Flue gas to FGC Inlet 5 Kg/Hr
2. Specific Heat Calculation:-
Flue gas composition at FGC inlet-
Combined Flue gas to FGC Composition
Component Vol% H2O 14.38 N2 71.06 O2 1.08 CO2 13.45 CO 0 Others 0.03 Total 100 (Above Data collected From On stream PFD Data available at DCS Panel)
Flue Gas Inlet Temperature:- 904 C
Flue Gas outlet Temperature:- 332 C
Using Simulation on http://fluegasknowhow.com/
Specific Heat at FGC inlet :- 0.3 Kcal/KgC
Specific Heat at FGC inlet :- 0.273 Kcal/KgC
3.Temperature Difference:-
1. Flue Gas Inlet Temperature:- 904 C
2. Flue Gas outlet Temperature:- 332 C
Difference:- 572 C
So Using above Values
Heat Duty of FGC on Flue gas side:- 61748164.1 Kcal/C Hr :- 258354319 KJoule/C Hr Probable Errors:-
1. As there is no individual tag for PA to regenerator so total FCCU PA
consumption value taken for calculation which also includes PA to hopper area. So this value cause some error in Heat duty
2. Flue gas composition data taken from PFD data which is quite old. Present Combined Flue gas to FGC composition might be different from that so this also can cause an error in calculation.
ASSUMPTION:- It is assumed that there is no loss of flue gas from CO-Oxidizer and FGC due to any leak.
