Is a box-type furnace or a cylindrical furnace better for heating the feed in a 1-million-ton hydrogenation reforming reactor?

For a 1-million-ton hydrogenation refining reaction feed heater, is a box-type furnace better or a cylindrical furnace?
Either works. Let the design institute do the calculations; use the furnace type that is needed.
From what I’ve seen in the literature, double-chamber box furnaces are generally used.
Either is fine; hydrogenation refinement is a highly exothermic reaction, and it is basically used at the start of operation.
A square furnace is recommended, as it is easier to control than a cylindrical furnace. Although it is used more often for starting up operations, it still needs to be functional.
According to the design from the design institute, the hydrocracking reaction heating furnace uses a square furnace with multiple heating points
