ABSTRACT:
The heat supplied to a cracking furnace is controlled so as to maintain a desired conversion rate for the material being cracked in the cracking furnace by comparing a prediction of the conversion rate for the material being cracked in the cracking furnace to a desired conversion rate for the material being cracked in the cracking furnace to thereby determine the heat required to maintain a desired conversion rate for the material being cracked in the cracking furnace. A measured conversion rate for the material being cracked in the cracking furnace is utilized to correct the predicted conversion rate as required. A signal representative of the heat required to maintain a desired conversion rate for the materal being cracking in the cracking furnace is utilized to manipulate the flow of fuel to the cracking furnace to thereby control the heat supplied to the cracking furnace.
