The Registration for This Event is CLOSED

Training Overview

This 1-day workshop included an introduction to process heating and process heating equipment such as furnaces, ovens, dryers, heaters, kilns, etc., used by the industry, and application of the Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST). PHAST provides an introduction to process heating methods and tools to improve thermal effi ciency of heating equipment. The software provides instructions on how to obtain the data for each step with commonly available instruments— without affecting production. It also supplies data on the thermal properties of commonly processed materials.

Benefits

	An overview of process heating and process heating equipment
	Obtaining data with commonly available instruments without interrupting production
	Use of the PHAST software, including application to real-world situations (case studies)
	Easy to use tools calculate potential savings
	Survey of all equipment that uses fuel, steam, or electricity for heating
	Construction of detailed heat balances for selected pieces of process heating equipment
	Calculating heat requirement when switching from fuel-fi ring to electric and vice versa

Who Should Attend

	Plant and Facility Managers
	Energy and Mechanical Engineering staff
	Operation and Maintenance staff
	Energy Professionals
	Industrial and Commercial Facilities
