This course aims to provide process and operation engineers with a solid understanding of furnace systems and fuel fundamentals used in industrial applications. Participants will learn about furnace design, configuration, combustion principles, fuel types, efficiency monitoring, and key safety aspects. The training includes practical knowledge such as efficiency calculations, common failure modes (e.g., tube creep failure), dew point corrosion, and emission control. By the end of the course, participants will be able to interpret furnace operating parameters, identify potential performance or safety issues, and apply practical techniques to improve furnace efficiency and reliability.
