Introduction

Training course introducion / brief

Process industry optimal operation is dependent on the continuous proper performance of the heating and cooling systems. Any problems and deterioration in such utilities affect the main process and thus the profits of the company. In addition, the correct selection of the thermal equipment appropriate with the process ensures minimal trouble-shooting and downtime. Equipment like furnaces and boilers use combustion of fuel to transfer the energy in the fuel to the process fluid or generate steam for different applications. Heat exchangers and cooling towers transfer heat from or to process fluid or dump heat to the environment. In many cases these heating processes are inefficient with large amount of energy being wasted. All intensified energy con-suming industry can benefit substantially by reviewing heat transfer processes and maximizing their potential saving. Lastly, Pinch technology optimize steam heating and water cooling requirements and thus reduce fuel cost
