Combustion, Fired Heater Operation & Flue Gas Treatment Course
Consultant/Trainer: Dirk-Jan Treur and Louis Jacobs
The Petrogenium Combustion, Fired Heater Operation & Flue Gas Treatment course will provide an introduction to the basics of Fired Equipment, theory of combustion and different forms of fired equipment in practice. Applications in refinery units are discussed in detail.
Participants
This Petrogenium course can be tailored for awareness/inexperienced staff, for intermediate and for experienced personnel. Furthermore the course can be customized for a specific refinery, plant or unit. The option for post-course consultancy/help-desk support is also available.
Participants may include: operational staff and (process) engineers on all levels working on fired equipment in distillation units, process units, utilities, treatment units etc.
