Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to electronic device manufacturing abatement systems and more particularly to supplying fuel employed by the abatement systems to abate effluents.
- Conventional electronic device manufacturing abatement systems abate effluents to reduce toxicity, flammability or other undesirable properties of effluents.
- the effluents may be produced by electronic device fabrication equipment (e.g., flat panel, semiconductor, solar, etc.).
- Some conventional abatement systems may abate effluents in a combustion zone that burns fuel to provide the heat necessary to abate the effluents.
- a conventional abatement system may typically employ more than one nozzle for spraying fuel into the combustion zone, and often such conventional abatement systems may not have uniform combustion regions or zones. Non-uniform combustion zones may not sufficiently abate the effluent, which may result in undesirable compounds exhausting from the abatement unit.
- an apparatus for introducing fuel into an electronic device manufacturing effluent abatement tool including: a manifold; a fuel source adapted to supply fuel to the manifold through a fuel conduit; and a plurality of nozzles adapted to receive fuel from the manifold; wherein the manifold is adapted to supply fuel to the nozzles at a fuel velocity greater than a flame velocity.
- a method for operating an electronic device manufacturing abatement system including: flowing fuel from a fuel supply into a manifold through a fuel conduit; and flowing the fuel from the manifold through a plurality of nozzles; wherein the manifold is adapted to flow fuel to the nozzles at a fuel velocity greater than a flame velocity.
- FIG. 1 depicts a schematic side view of an embodiment of an abatement system in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1B depicts a bottom plan view of an embodiment of a fuel manifold head in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1C depicts a bottom plan view of an effluent inlet/fuel nozzle cluster in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 2 depicts a cross section side view of an embodiment of a fuel manifold in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 3 depicts a perspective view of the fuel lines inside of an embodiment of a fuel manifold according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart which depicts a method of operating an electronic device manufacturing abatement system of the present invention.
- a conventional fuel burning abatement system may have several nozzles which supply fuel or a fuel/oxidant mixture to the combustion zone.
- these nozzles will be referred to herein as ‘nozzles’ or ‘fuel nozzles’, but it is understood that they may flow a fuel/oxidant mixture or fuel only.
- the fuel nozzles in a convention abatement system often flow fuel non-uniformly, thereby creating an uneven temperature profile in the combustion zone.
- one nozzle may spray fuel at a higher or lower pressure than the other fuel nozzles. This difference in pressure might result in a spray pattern which differs from the spray patterns of the other nozzles.
- the difference in pressure might also result in an amount of fuel spraying from one nozzle which is different from the amount of fuel spraying from the other nozzles.
- a different spray pattern or different amounts of fuel spraying from different nozzles may result in a non-uniform temperature profile in the combustion zone.
- the fuel may typically be supplied to the nozzles through supply pipes, conduits or lines. These supply lines may be of differing lengths, configurations, cross-sectional shape, internal smoothness, and may have other differences.
- conventional fuel burning abatement systems typically employ a flashback arrestor on each fuel line. Such flashback arrestors may prevent the fuel upstream from the flashback arrestors from igniting, by preventing a flame front from traveling back from the combustion zone through a nozzle into a fuel line or fuel source.
- Each flashback arrestor may be slightly different from each other flashback arrestor, and having a flashback arrestor on each fuel line may contribute to unequal fuel distribution to the combustion zone. Accordingly, for the above and additional reasons, the combustion zone in the combustion zone may not have a uniform temperature profile.
- a combustion zone temperature profile may be shaped such that a cooler zone exists on one side of the combustion zone. While chemical species in the effluent may be effectively abated in hotter portions of the combustion zone, chemical species may not be effectively abated in cooler portions of the combustion zone. Thus, in an abatement unit having nonuniform combustion, some unabated chemicals may exit the combustion zone and enter the facility exhaust.
- the present invention provides methods and apparatus to equalize fuel flow to and fuel pressure at a plurality of fuel nozzles that spray fuel into a combustion zone of an abatement system.
- equalized we mean to reduce a difference between two fuel flow rates and/or two fuel pressures, even if by doing so the two fuel flow rates and/or two fuel pressures do not actually become equal.
- an abatement tool may exhibit a more uniform temperature profile in the combustion zone.
- the fuel flow from each nozzle may be equalized.
- the pressure and/or flow rate of the fuel exiting each nozzle may be equalized.
- the spray profile or pattern of the fuel flow exiting each nozzle may be equalized. Still other parameters of the fuel flow exiting each nozzle may be equalized such that a more uniform combustion zone is achieved.
- the present invention provides a fuel manifold having a plurality of fuel lines which are adapted to supply fuel equally or substantially equally to each of the plurality of nozzles.
- Fuel lines may be equal in dimension (e.g., length, circumference, etc.), such that the fuel in each line travels an equal distance along similar channels.
- dimensions other than length may be selected for fuel lines of unequal length so that fuel which flows from the manifold arrives at the nozzles at an equalized flow rate and/or pressure.
- the fuel may be supplied to each fuel line in the fuel manifold via a single fuel inlet.
- a single fuel inlet may branch into two or more separate fuel lines, each fuel line being coupled to a different nozzle.
- the single fuel inlet may include a flashback arrestor.
- the flashback arrestor may be coupled to the fuel inlet, eliminating the need for a flashback arrestor on each fuel line and eliminating the variation in fuel flow that may result from the use of a different flashback arrestor on each fuel line. Accordingly, fuel may be more equally supplied into a combustion zone via the plurality of nozzles having the features of the present invention. As a result, the temperature profile in the combustion zone may be more uniform than in conventional abatement systems.
- FIGS. 1-4 These and other aspects of the inventions are described below with reference to FIGS. 1-4 .
- FIG. 1 depicts, in schematic view, an embodiment of an abatement system 100 provided in accordance with the present invention.
- abatement system 100 may be a burn/wet process abatement system, including an abatement unit 101 , which may burn a fuel/oxidant mixture to create high temperatures so that an effluent/oxidant mixture can combust in a combustion zone 102 to form abated effluent.
- the abated effluent may then pass into a quench zone 104 , where it may be cooled and/or scrubbed, and then may pass out of the abatement unit through outlet 106 . From outlet 106 , the abated effluent may be further processed, scrubbed or vented to the atmosphere.
- Effluent to be abated may be provided to abatement system 100 from an effluent source 108 .
- the effluent source 108 may be any type of electronic device manufacturing process unit or units (hereinafter referred to as a “process unit”) which exhausts process gases which may be abated by abatement system 100 .
- Effluent source 108 may contain more than one processing chamber (not shown).
- Abatement system 100 may receive effluent from more than one effluent source 108 , such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or more sources. Effluent from effluent source 108 may be provided to abatement unit 101 through effluent inlet 110 .
- effluent inlet 110 More than one effluent inlet 110 may be used, and each effluent inlet may be connected to one or more effluent sources 108 .
- effluent inlet 110 is adapted to introduce effluent into the combustion zone 102 through the side of the abatement unit, in another embodiment (not shown), effluent inlet 110 may introduce effluent into the combustion zone 102 by passing through fuel manifold head 112 (as described in more detail below).
- Fuel manifold head 112 may include fuel manifold 113 , which is indicated in FIG. 1 as contained within the fuel manifold head 112 .
- Fuel may be provided to abatement unit 101 from fuel source 116 , which may be a supply of hydrogen, methane or any other suitable fuel. Fuel may flow from fuel source 116 through conduit 118 into fuel inlet 119 of fuel manifold 113 .
- fuel source 116 may comprise a pump (not shown) which is adapted to pressurize the fuel.
- a flashback arrestor 126 may be located between the fuel source 116 and the fuel inlet 119 , and in these embodiments, fuel must flow through the flashback arrestor 126 prior to entering the fuel manifold 113 .
- Oxidant may be provided to the abatement unit 101 from oxidant source 120 .
- Oxidant source 120 may be a supply of clean dry air, oxygen, oxygen enriched air, or any other suitable oxidant.
- oxidant from oxidant source 120 may be mixed with fuel from fuel source 116 in order to increase the temperature in the upper portions of the combustion zone. For reasons of safety, the amount of oxidant mixed with fuel outside of the abatement unit may be limited to an amount which would result in a fuel/air mixture which is sufficiently fuel rich to not be flammable without the addition of more oxygen into the abatement unit 101 .
- oxidant may enter the manifold (not shown) where it may be mixed with fuel.
- oxidant may be provided to the abatement unit 101 through conduit 124 .
- Oxidant supplied to abatement unit 101 through conduit 124 may be introduced into combustion zone 102 , where it can mix with fuel and effluent to form a flammable mixture.
- oxidant source 120 may comprise a pump (not shown) adapted to pressurize the oxidant.
- Fuel manifold 113 may receive fuel or a fuel/air mixture, through fuel inlet 119 .

- Fuel may be sprayed from fuel nozzles 114 a - d into combustion zone 102 , where the effluent and fuel may be combined with oxidant and reacted therewith or combusted.
- Fuel nozzles 114 a - d may spray fuel into the combustion zone 102 , although any suitable apparatus for providing fuel to the combustion zone 102 may be employed.
- the fuel nozzles 114 a - d may be comprised of machined aluminum with a selectively machined output hole such that a desired spray profile is achieved. As depicted, the fuel nozzles 114 a - d may be partially disposed inside the combustion zone 102 . However, fuel nozzles 114 a - d may be disposed entirely inside the fuel manifold head 112 with only the fuel spray output thereof exposed to an internal portion of the combustion zone 102 .
- the manner in which the fuel nozzles 114 a - d are disposed may be selected to not only effectively abate the effluent, but also to prevent fuel in the fuel manifold 113 from igniting.
- the fuel nozzles 114 a - d receive, via the fuel manifold 113 , fuel that passes through the flashback arrestor 126 which may provide additional protection against the ignition of fuel in the fuel source 116 .
- the plurality of fuel nozzles 114 may be adapted to spray fuel in a desired manner. For example, it may be desired that each of the plurality of fuel nozzles 114 a - d spray fuel in a fan shape (e.g., triangular cross section) spray profile. In such an embodiment, the fuel sprayed from each of the plurality of fuel nozzles 114 a - d may overlap before reaching the combustion zone 102 . Additionally or alternatively, the plurality of fuel nozzles 114 may be adapted to form fuel sprays having a particular fuel velocity for a given fuel pressure. Such fuel velocity may be faster than a flame velocity in the combustion zone 102 . Flame velocity of the combustion zone may be the rate at which flame propagates.
- the fuel may push the flame away from the plurality of fuel nozzles 114 to ensure that the ignited fuel (the flame) does not ‘flashback’ into the fuel manifold 113 .
- Such fuel velocity may also be affected by other parameters such as fuel viscosity, pressure, etc. Such other parameters may be affected by the fuel manifold 113 as will be described in more detail below.
- Flash back arrestor 126 may be any suitable flash back arrestor.
- FIG. 1B depicts a bottom plan view of an embodiment of a fuel manifold head 112 in accordance with the present invention.
- the fuel manifold head 112 may include one or more effluent inlet/fuel nozzle clusters 150 a - d .
- the fuel manifold head 112 has four effluent inlet/fuel nozzle clusters 150 a - d , but it should be understood that the fuel manifold head 112 may have only one effluent inlet/fuel nozzle cluster, or may have as many as two, three, five, six, seven, eight or more effluent inlet/fuel nozzle clusters.
- Dotted line A indicates a portion of FIG. 1B which is depicted in more detail in FIG. 1C , below.

- Fuel manifold 113 may be adapted to provide fuel to fuel nozzles 114 a - d in selected, equal, or nearly equal, flow rates and pressures.
- the selected, equal, or nearly equal provision of fuel to fuel nozzles 114 a - d may enable the fuel nozzles to spray fuel into the abatement unit 101 , and more particularly into combustion zone 102 , in selected, identical, or nearly identical spray patterns.
- the fuel so sprayed, may create a combustion zone with a more uniform temperature profile than may exist in a conventional abatement unit, or in a selected, non-uniform temperature profile.
- the fuel manifold of the present invention may reduce flow differences between the fuel nozzles as compared to prior art systems.
- the fuel manifold may be adapted to provide fuel to nozzles 114 a - d in selected unequal flow rates and/or pressures in order to create a desired uniform or non-uniform temperature profile in the combustion zone 102 .

- tertiary fuel line 208 b may be in fluid communication with fuel nozzles 114 a - d .
- the interior space 300 may be machined, forged or cast into the fuel manifold 113 (not shown in FIG. 3 .) Interior space 300 may include tertiary fuel line segment 208 b , which, although shown as truncated along line A-A, may be a mirror image of terminal fuel distribution line 308 a.
- the interior space 300 may be adapted to allow an effluent inlet 110 (not shown in FIG. 3 ) to pass through the fuel manifold 113 , through ring 302 formed in fuel manifold 113 by tertiary fuel line segment 208 a .

- the fuel manifold head 112 may be an aluminum block with fuel lines machined into the block, although any suitable fuel manifold head 112 may be employed.
- the fuel manifold head 112 may be made of anodized aluminum that is manufactured (e.g., machined, forged, cast, etc.) to include fuel lines, e.g., fuel lines 204 , 206 and 208 .
- the fuel manifold head 112 may also be manufactured to include additional features such as bolts (not shown) for coupling the fuel manifold head 112 to the abatement unit 101 . Other materials may be used to form the fuel manifold head 112 .
- the branching fuel lines fuel lines which are depicted in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 as being contained within the manifold head 112 , may be located externally (not shown) to the manifold head 112 .

- a method for hundred begins in step 402 , where fuel is flowed from a fuel supply into a manifold through conduit.
