Course Schedule & Registration

Process Burner Theory is an online course designed to provide some basic fundamentals of combustion, fluid flow, and heat transfer as they pertain to burners used in process heaters and furnaces. This course is designed to provide the student some of the basic information that will be required to take Practical Combustion for Fired Heaters (PB300). The course consists of approximately 16 modules which take approximately 15 minutes each to complete online.

In this comprehensive seminar, we integrate content typically covered in both our Process Burners (PB161) and Flare Fundamentals (FL117) courses. This approach ensures participants receive a holistic understanding of combustion, from process burners to flare systems.

This course provides an introduction to the selection, operation and maintenance of offshore and onshore flare systems. It outlines the many different flare technologies available and the type of application each is most suited for. It will help the attendee understand how to control smoke, noise, radiation and flame luminosity. Attendees will also learn how to accurately evaluate the economics of replacements and retrofits. Students are invited to bring specific operating problems for one-on-one discussion with an Institute instructor or for discussion with a group of peers who have experienced similar situations at their facilities. Students will see flare demonstrations in a world-class flare test facility.

This course focuses on gaseous and liquid waste thermal oxidizers, and covers a broad range of thermal oxidation topics beginning with thermal oxidation and combustion basics and advancing through the fundamental system types – sulfur, low-NOx, chlorinated and down-fired/salt. The course addresses CFD modeling, pre and post treatment, alternative technologies and control systems. Maintenance and aftermarket service are also discussed. Thermal oxidizer tests and demonstrations will be shown at John Zink’s state-of-the-art thermal oxidation test facility.

Vapor Control Systems is taught by our engineering and service personnel who work full time on vapor control equipment. This course is well-balanced between classroom and hands-on training. The course includes in-depth discussions, demonstrations, and visits to our manufacturing facility to see equipment before it’s shipped to the field.

Led by leading experts from John Zink, Koch Engineered Solutions, and other professionals from the industry, this comprehensive training course covers all aspects of process burners and their impact to heater operation, from introductory theory to advanced diagnostic techniques. The course begins with Process Burner Fundamentals, providing participants with a solid understanding of the essential theory and practical application of process burners in f ired heaters. Participants will then apply these basic concepts with the latest and most advanced diagnostics techniques for assessing burner and heater performance. Learners will achieve a good understanding of what causes burner flames to interact and the effect of having burners placed too close to each other and/or too close to the furnace walls or tubes and the impact that has on heater performance. 

Biogas Systems is taught by John Zink’s engineering and service personnel who work full time on biogas equipment. It is well balanced between classroom and hands-on training. The course includes in-depth discussions, demonstrations and witnessing an actual system check-out in John Zink's manufacturing facility.
