• This course will guide the participates to develop key concepts and techniques for the optimization of fired heaters. These key concepts can be utilized to make operating decisions that can improve your unit’s performance.
• Many aspects of fried heaters operations and management can be improved including, energy utilization, product improvements, furnace tube life, and safety. This cannot be achieved without understanding of basic fundamental principles of design and operation.
• These principles need to be understood in advance of operating and trouble shooting a process unit operation for the manager or problem solving to be effective.
• This seminar focuses on the core building blocks of the fired heater systems, equipment and economics. This program will emphasize fired heater unit operation fundamentals, safe utilization of these fundamentals by operations and maintenance personnel, and equipment troubleshooting techniques.

Operation Supervisors, Maintenance Supervisors, Senior Plant Supervisors,
Operations Engineers, Process Support Engineers
