Big opportunities tomorrow.
This advanced program trains mechanical engineers in the inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting of fired heaters, reformers, and boilers critical to refinery and petrochemical production processes.
The Fired Heaters, Reformer & Boiler Maintenance Program provides comprehensive training on maintenance, inspection, and safe operation of fired equipment. It introduces fired heaters, reformers, and boilers, covering types, operating principles, key components, and safety awareness. Maintenance fundamentals include routine inspection, common failure mechanisms, and shutdown preparation. Mechanical components maintenance covers burners, flame arrestors, tubes, coils, refractory, insulation, and expansion joints. Combustion and fuel systems include fuel gas systems, air supply, draft systems, combustion control, and emission considerations. Boiler pressure parts maintenance addresses drums, headers, tubes, tube sheets, valves, fittings, and leak prevention. Inspection and testing include visual inspection, thickness measurement, hydrostatic testing, and NDT overview. Instrumentation and controls basics cover temperature and pressure instruments, safety interlocks, control loops, and alarm systems. Safety and permit systems include hot work permits, confined space entry, gas testing coordination, and emergency response. Shutdown and start-up support covers pre-shutdown checks, maintenance during shutdown, start-up checks, and post-start inspection. Documentation and reporting include maintenance logs, inspection reports, defect tracking, and handover documentation.
The module highlights how thoughtful planning can directly improve project quality, reduce accidents, and help projects finish on time and within budget.
