Combustion and Heat Transfer for Refinery Operations training will present an overview of fuel combustion principles and heat transfer basics and discuss their direct implication to refinery fired process heaters and steam boilers operation, efficiency and reliability.
In spite of its large energy consumption and undeniable significance refinery fired heaters and boilers had been usually “taken for granted” in refinery operation. The mounting need to accommodate the concepts of plant efficiency and equipment reliability into day-to-day refinery operation requires a more technical approach to the operation of these units. Plant operators and technicians, being the first and most immediate interface with this critical plant equipment, need to be fully prepared to handle their significant role in an efficient, safe, environmentally conscious manner. Exposing these personnel to combustion and heat transfer issues and to their repercussions to energy savings, equipment integrity and global climate change would be a straightforward manner to enhance refinery returns.
This training will highlight:
At the end of this course, attendees will learn to:
Day 1
Fuels, Heat Transfer, Steam and Combustion Principles
Day 2
Fired Heaters and Performance Evaluation
Day 3
Refinery Steam Boilers and Performance Evaluation
This training will greatly benefit plant personnel who need a pragmatic understanding of theory to complement and improve their hands-on grasp of process heaters and boilers.
This course is suitable to plant operators and technicians but will greatly benefit:
