ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling a process heater in which a required heat demand is computed based on the enthalpy of the feed stock and the desired enthalpy of the final product, and then used as a feedforward portion of the fuel control. A second embodiment of the invention is based on the assumption that the feed stock enthalpy changes slowly or infrequently. In this embodiment fuel heating value changes are used as a feedforward portion of the fuel control.
