Energy Industries of Ohio - Workshops

PHAST - Process Heating Assessment

November 10, 2010 - Cleveland, OH

Overview

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the Industrial Heating Equipment Association are pleased to offer the Process Heating Assessment workshop. Students attending the one-day workshop will learn:

  • How to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions from furnaces
  • Practical tips on process heating equipment operations and maintenance
  • How to use PHAST software to assess energy consumption in furnace components

This workshop includes an introduction to process heating and process heating equipment such as furnaces, ovens, dryers, heaters, kilns, etc., used by the industry. It includes discussion of combustion and other heating methods, heat transfer in furnaces, heat containment, waste heat recovery, commonly used process heating controls, and emission reduction related to process heating.

Students will also learn how to use the Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST). PHAST can survey furnaces, identify major energy using equipment, prioritize improvement opportunities, and assess available methods that can be used to reduce energy consumption in an industrial plant.
