Fired Heaters

The predominant type of equipment for heating of process streams in a refinery or oil and gas facility is the fired heater. These can range from the quite small to the very large and are associated directly with refinery distillation, separation and product reforming operations. The safe and efficient operation of the fired heaters has a very significant effect upon the overall refinery performance. The fired heaters consume significant quantities of fuel, whose value continues to increase in real terms, and can be involved in fires and explosions if inadequate care is taken in their design, performance and maintenance. Hence this course is important to anyone involved in the design and operation of a refinery. Topics would include types of fired heater, natural and forced draft, combustion calculations, excess air and its effect upon efficiency, burners types, tube design and material selection, types of refractory, stacks, emissions, troubleshooting, commissioning, maintenance and burner management and control.
