Design, Material, Fabrication, Inspection and Erection of Fired
Heaters as per API 560
Course Overview
This course for the fired heater technology for refinery and petrochemical
industries. The participants will acquire the knowledge and /or enhance their
experience in the Design, Material, Fabrication, Inspection and Erection.
The approach to the training will be to transmit the technology and knowledge of
the fired heaters by going through the requirement of API 560 Standard. As such,
the Participants Learn API Standard 560 and its applications at the same time.
Course Objectives
Enhance the experience of the participants in their prospective field/specialty
while learn about the job of the other specialties involved in the project.
Minimize initial and operating costs while maintaining a high quality product with
a minimum turn down.
Transmit the technology and knowledge of the fired heaters and the requirement
of API Standard 560.
The ultimate objective is to make the participant smart Buyer and better
Operator.
Who Should Attend
Inspection Engineers, Plant Inspectors, Mechanical Engineers, Process
Engineers, Design Engineers ,Project Engineers & Management in the chemical
process, refining and petrochemical industries.
