Course Description

Introduction

The operation and troubleshooting of heat transfer equipment frequently used in the oil and gas sector are reviewed in this training seminar, Course N Carry Heat exchangers and Fired Heaters: Function and Issue Resolution. The equipment used for heat transfer that will be covered includes fired heaters, compact heat exchangers, and shell and tube exchangers. 

This Course N Carry training event will teach you the fundamentals of fluid flow and heat transfer, enabling you to increase heat exchanger efficacy and prolong equipment life. Along with air-cooled and plate exchangers, participants will also learn how to operate and troubleshoot shell and tube heat exchangers.

An understanding of the design parameters of fired process heaters and associated equipment will be gained from this Course N Carry training event. Other important subjects include operations and troubleshooting, instrumentation and controls, corrosion and fouling, and pollution mitigation. Techniques to increase safety, run lengths, and efficiency are covered in the session. We'll go over how to use contemporary diagnostic and control tools in a process heater to adjust draft or any other significant variable. 

The main points of this Course N Carry training seminar are:

  • The construction, functionality, and diagnosis of shell and tube heat exchangers 
  • The construction, use, and diagnosis of plate heat exchangers 
  • The design, functionality, and diagnosis of air-cooled heat exchangers 
  • Fired heater types, functions, and troubleshooting 
  • Factors influencing how well fired heaters operate 

Goals

By the time this Course N Carry training seminar ends, you'll know how to: 

  • Assess the heat transfer equipment's performance.
  • Determine the heat exchangers' optimal operating practices. 
  • Determine the issues with heat exchangers and provide fixes 
  • Determine the safest ways to operate heaters that are fired. 
  • Determine the issues with fired heaters and suggest fixes. 

Training Methodology

Round table discussions will be held for some of the subjects covered in this interactive lecture-style training session on Course N Carry Heat exchangers and Fired Heaters. To emphasise the main points of the course and introduce the attendees to contemporary best practices, a lot of case study and relevant video content is used. 

Exercises and discussion sessions are included in this Course N Carry training event to help refinery delegates get an important grasp of heater factors, operational circumstances, and troubleshooting.
