A burner assembly for and method of producing ethylene having a mechanism to inject either primary fuel, staged fuel, or both by premix methods before combustion in a furnace. The burner assembly has at least one premix injection assembly for either exclusively primary fuel or exclusively staged fuel injection paired with a nozzle mix injection or injection means for primary and staged fuel both by premix methods. The primary fuel premix assembly associates with a burner tile that consists of multiple inlets and outlets connected by venturi channels to direct and combine combustion air and staged fuel coming from staged fuel orifice spuds. Primary fuel and combustion air are mixed in a premix assembly and directed inside the furnace, and above the burner tile to complete the reaction with the staged fuel and combustion air mixture in a combustion zone inside of the furnace.

Low NO.sub.x burner for ethylene cracking furnaces and other heating applications

A cDNA clone (HEV1) encoding hevein was isolated via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using mixed oligonucleotides corresponding to two regions of hevein as primers and a Hevea brasiliensis latex cDNA library as a template. HEV1 is 1018 nucleotides long and includes an open reading frame of 204 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence contains a putative signal sequence of 17 amino acid residues followed by a 187 amino acid polypeptide. The amino-terminal region (43 amino acids) is identical to hevein and shows homology to several chitin-binding proteins and to the amino-termini of wound-induced genes in potato and poplar. The carboxyl-terminal portion of the polypeptide (144 amino acids) is 74-79% homologous to the carboxyl-terminal region of wound-inducible genes of potato. Wounding, as well as application of the plant hormones abscisic acid and ethylene, resulted in accumulation of hevein transcripts in leaves, stems and latex, but not in roots, as shown by using the cDNA as a probe. A fusion protein was produced in E. coli from the protein of the present invention and maltose binding protein produced by the E. coli.
