Combustion

Many processes involve the use of large quantities of heat, which is typically provided by the combustion of fossil fuels. A detailed knowledge of the principles of combustion is necessary for all those involved in the design or operation of such facilities to ensure that the efficiency of operation is maximised whilst retaining the overall safety of the facility. This course would typically cover such things as combustion calculations, excess air and its effect upon efficiency, burners types, boilers and fired heaters, flare systems, burner management systems, emissions and their control.
