Fired process heaters (also known as fired heaters, process heaters, furnaces, process furnaces, and direct-fired heaters) are critical pieces of equipment in petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, and other industrial process facilities where providing heat to a process fluid at elevated temperature levels is required. They are a major consumer of energy in such facilities, and their proper operation is integral to their safety, reliability, production capacity, and profitability.
This training will provide insight to the design parameters and limitations of both thermal/ hydraulic and mechanical/structural design of fired process heaters and ancillary equipment (burners, fans, air preheaters, etc.). Additional major topics include instrumentation and controls, operations and troubleshooting, mitigation of emissions/corrosion/fouling, and revamping/modification. Techniques for specification development and proposal/design evaluation also will be discussed. The course will be taught in interactive lecture format, with roundtable discussions for certain topics.
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

The course would be valuable to professionals working with fired process heaters in the petroleum refining, petrochemical, chemical and related industries, such as:
When you need on-site attention, we’re not just here to help, we’re there to help—right by your side.
Individual courses are remarkably effective. But sometimes when you have a specific need, it helps to have expert guidance right in the room with you and your team.
In that case, we’re happy to design a custom training for your entire team, whether online—or on-site.
