COURSE OVERVIEW

This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of the fired process heater operation, control and troubleshooting. It is specifically designed to help plant operators better understand the function of
direct-fired heaters, explaining the principles of combustion, the characteristics of different designs, and methods of operations, including important controls and guidelines to optimize and improve heater efficiency.
Further, this course will also cover the techniques to operate more safety and meet emission guidelines; the process fired heaters function; the applicable codes and standards for fired heaters; the operational systems, check-lists and procedures adopted for fired heater start up and shutdown; the risks associated with fired heater start up and shutdown and the applicable safety procedures to be followed; the skills to anticipate and avoid all problems associated with process fired heater operation; and the operation of heaters with safety as the prime consideration.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the control and safety issue; the key operating parameters; the typical problems and possible causes; the key inspection and turnaround items; the basic principles of combustion, process fired heaters and the types of fired heaters; the fired heater engineering and gas and oil fired heaters combustion techniques; the direct fire heater components, fired heater data sheet and fuel burning management system; the air flow (primary, secondary & excess air), types of draft and air preheating; the effective commissioning, start-up and shutdown of fired heaters; the revamping fired heaters, fired heater control and fire heater inspection; the efficiency of fired heaters and the application of fired heaters pre-commissioning and commissioning procedure; and the fired heater duty, fired heater safety, fired heater problems and troubleshooting.
