The course provides in depth practical understanding of major proven heat exchanger technologies and “state of art” fouling mitigation technologies. Pro’s and Con’s of several heat exchanger types are presented explained with life operational examples. This course provides a good mix of theory and common practices using highly interactive case studies where attendees are encouraged to use in-house heat exchanger type selection software and rigorous design/rating world-class software from HTRI. Heat exchangers are the workhorses in a refinery and as long the heat exchanger perform its duty, nobody pay’s attention; but in real life it’s different. Process changes, stringent emission regulations might evolve in excessive fouling, high pressure drops and tube vibration which lead to intensive replacements. An initial saving with a special type might generate high cost in future due to wrong selection.
