Product Description
Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Coen Company supplied refinery process heater burners — including crude heater, vacuum heater, and reformer furnace burners — with asbestos-refractory combustion-side inserts around the burner tip and asbestos-fabric mounting gaskets at the burner-to-furnace floor and wall connection. The asbestos-refractory inserts allegedly stabilized the flame envelope at the tip and protected the surrounding furnace throat, and the asbestos-fabric mounting gaskets allegedly sealed the burner assembly to the heater plate against negative-draft air in-leakage.
Plaintiffs alleged that Coen refinery burners remained in service across U.S. refinery process heaters from the 1940s through the 1980s, requiring periodic tip cleaning, burner change-outs, and combustion tune-ups.
