This 4-day accredited course 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.
