Why Choose this Training Course

RP 982 encompasses an extensive array of refinery equipment, including fluid solid units, fluid catalytic cracker units, reforming units, fired heaters, incinerators, sulfur recovery units, flue gas ducts, calcines, steam-methane reformers, hydrogen plant and transfer lines, cracker furnaces, boilers, and flue gas stacks. The refractory linings in these units serve essential purposes, including:

• providing thermal protection for equipment;
• increasing energy retention and process efficiency;
• resisting processes that cause abrasion and corrosion; and
• enhancing personnel safety

RP 982 includes applications for fired furnaces, which are used extensively in the industry to heat hydrocarbon feedstocks for various high-temperature processes. These furnaces manage the interaction and flow of liquids, solids, and gases at elevated temperatures. Performing a reliable assessment of this lining is crucial for maximizing the furnace’s productivity and
durability.

Following RP 982 can help organizations optimize furnace performance, reduce energy consumption, and minimize downtime. It can also foster better and more informed decision-making regarding the condition of the existing lining and the necessity of making repairs.
