COURSE OVERVIEW

 This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course reviews the design, operation and troubleshooting of fired heaters which will enable to improve heat exchanger effectiveness and extend equipment’s life span by teaching the basic principles of fluid flow and heat transfer. Participants of the course will learn about the operation and troubleshooting of shell and tube heat exchangers as well as air-cooled and plate exchangers. 

 

The course will also provide an insight to the design parameters of fired process heaters and ancillary equipment. Additional major topics include instrumentation and controls, operations, troubleshooting, mitigation of emissions, corrosion and fouling; the techniques to improve efficiency, run lengths, and safety; and modern diagnosis and control tools in a process heater to control draft or any other important variable will also be covered during the course 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the basics of heat transfer and combustion; the design issues and radiant section; the convection section design; the excess air and combustion efficiency; the NOx control techniques and fired heaters classification; and the factors affecting the performance of fired heaters.
