COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course covers the inspection practices for fired boilers, process heaters and furnaces used in the petroleum refineries and petrochemical plants. It is focused to improve equipment reliability and plant safety and provide inspection practices that accurately capture appropriate data both onstream and off-stream to assess current and future performance of the equipment. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the types and common heater and boiler designs; the heater, furnace and boiler mechanical reliability; the inspection of fired boilers, fired heaters and furnaces; the inspection qualifications and corrosion control documents (CCDs); the damage mechanisms; the proper boiler and heater inspection frequency and timing of inspections; the safety precautions to avoid PTA SCC in stainless steel tubes, preparatory work and cleaning; the outage inspection; the radiographic examination, borescope, videoprobe and hardness measurements; and the dye penetrant and magnetic particle examination.
