What impact will the emulsification of quench water in the quench water tower of an ethylene plant have on the cracking furnace?

What impact will the emulsification of quench water in the quench water tower have on the pyrolysis furnace? What comes to mind is that the sudden cooling causes the emulsion to turn into process water containing oil, which in turn results in diluted steam containing oil. When the cracking furnace burns, the hydrocarbons react with the burning air, and this reaction may cause the furnace tubes to burst and get damaged. Will there be any other impacts? Could everyone please explain it? Learning *learning*
Study*study*. Oil in the water also has a significant impact on subsequent heat exchange equipment.
The dilution steam generator suffers from fouling
There is also a failure to separate oil from water; some of the water ends up in the compressed gasoline tower, preventing proper heating at the bottom of the tower
What I want to know is the impact of quench water emulsification on the pyrolysis furnace, specifically just its effect on that furnace.
The pyrolysis furnace develops coke quickly, has a short operating cycle, and emits yellow smoke during coking
Quench water emulsification leads to the failure of oil and water to separate, the DS becomes oily, the coking removal cycle in the pyrolyzer is shortened, and the furnace starts to smoke.
