Improving energy efficiency in industrial heating systems is more crucial than ever. Furnaces and boilers are essential components in many sectors, yet they often operate with significant energy losses. This course offers participants a comprehensive understanding of modern combustion techniques, waste heat recovery, and system optimisation strategies that improve performance, reduce emissions, and lower operational costs.
Through practical examples, technical insights, and strategic approaches, attendees will gain the tools to evaluate, design, and implement high-efficiency combustion systems and heat recovery methods suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand combustion principles and their impact on energy efficiency.
- Assess and reduce waste heat in furnace and boiler systems.
- Design and select appropriate heat recovery technologies.
- Analyse system performance and implement optimisation strategies.
- Identify economic and environmental benefits of improved combustion techniques.
- Develop effective maintenance plans to extend system life and minimise energy losses.
This course is ideal for:
- Energy and process engineers.
- Plant and facility managers.
- Furnace and boiler operators.
- Maintenance and reliability engineers.
- Environmental and sustainability managers.
- Technical consultants working on industrial energy projects.
This course combines theoretical knowledge with practical learning using technical presentations, group discussions, case studies, and scenario-based exercises. The methodology ensures deep comprehension and equips participants with tools they can directly apply in their facilities.
Day 5 of each course is reserved for a Q&A session, which may occur off-site. For 10-day courses, this also applies to day 10
