Organisational Impact

When the organization invests money in training its employees, employees feel worthy and more loyal. This training will improve essential work-related skills, techniques, and knowledge needed for safe, environmentally sound, and efficient operation of a plant.

Personal Impact

Trained employees tend to benefit both their own careers and the company they work for. The participant will gain better understanding of process burners, define common burners' terminology, identify the best installation and testing practices, follow proper and safe operating procedures, increase burner thermal efficiency, reduce pollutant emissions, and provides tools for troubleshooting problems.

By the end of this BTS training course, participants will learn to:

• Discuss the basics of combustion and heat transfer
• Operate a heater safely and more efficiently
• Distinguish a good flame from a poor flame
• Discuss different types of burners, their operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting
• Diagnose problems with heaters and burners, and determine corrective actions

This BTS training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Operations personnel
• Production personnel
• Maintenance personnel
• Technical Support Engineers
• Operators and technicians
