This training is designed to improve the overall understanding of process burners, define common burners' terminology, and identify the best installation & testing practices.
This training illustrates the proper and safe burner operating procedures including how to increase burner thermal efficiency, reduce pollutant emissions, and provides tools for troubleshooting problems.
This training course will highlight:
- The fundamentals of combustion and heat transfer
- The Burner design, installation, and testing
- The burner operation, combustion control, and troubleshooting
- Flare system design and operation
- Pollutant emissions and combustion safety
By the end of this training, participants will learn to:
- Discuss the basics of combustion and heat transfer
- Operate a heater safely and more efficiently
- Distinguish a good flame from a poor flame
- Discuss different types of burners, their operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting
- Diagnose problems with heaters and burners, and determine corrective actions
