Combustion and Heat Transfer for Refinery Operations - Virtual Learning
Combustion and Heat Transfer for Refinery Operations Gulf Rowad training seminar 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 Gulf Rowad training seminar will highlight:
Typical fired heater and boiler fuels
Combustion principles and heat transfer basics
Process heater types, components and service applications
Burners, function, types and characteristics
Fired heaters performance
Refinery boilers and operational performance
