Minimize unplanned shutdowns of fired heater operations
There are many potential “rules,” or guidelines, for the safe operation of process heaters.
Heater training improves safety and operations
As a part of an initiative to conserve energy and other valuable resources, an independent petroleum refiner began a two-year training program in the summer of 2013 for more than 900 operators at six ..
Customize operator training for your thermal oxidizers
This case history shows the benefits of site-specific programs in new equipment installations
Consider classroom training for plant operators
Course materials are specially focused on the safe, environmentally sound and efficient operations of a processing facility
Minimize facility flaring
Flares are safety devices that prevent the release of unburned gases to atmosphere
Accurately predict radiation from flare stacks
Using this technique can take the guess work out of design calculations and improve costs
