About Training
The seminar is a comprehensive course for the fired heater technology for refinery and petrochemical industries. The participants will acquire the knowledge and /or enhance their experience in the design, engineering, inspection, installation, operations, maintenances and troubleshooting.
The course is more for the practical side than the theoretical. The approach to the training will be to transmit the technology and knowledge of the fired heaters by going through the requirement of Fired Heaters Standard. As such, the Participants Learn Fired Heaters and its applications at the same time.
Training Objectives
- Enhance the experience of the participants in their prospective field/specialty while learn about the job of the other specialties involved in the project.
- Minimize initial and operating costs while maintaining a high quality product with a minimum turn down.
- Transmit the technology and knowledge of the fired heater and the requirement of fired heaters
- Cleary define the responsibility of each involved Party (Purchaser, Vendor, Contractor, etc).
- The ultimate objective is to make the participant smart Buyer and better Operator.

Instructor
M. Bassem Tolba
Bassem Tolba is former President of a manufacture and consultant ABB Lumus Heat Transfer which is the worldwide leader in heat transfer equipment including API 560 fired heaters and TEMA exchangers. For over 40 years, he directly and supervise his former team in design, engineer and supply to the worldwide market over 5.000 heaters and over 25.000 exchangers to the Refining, Petrochemical & Chemical industries.
He also introduced to the market proprietary heaters and exchangers with superior performance that can only be supplied by his consultant. Bassem also provided solutions for the problems encountered by the clients.
Most probably, each refinery or Petrochemical plant in the world have one or more his former consultant’s fired heater.
He had worked and lived in five continents helped him to bridge the gap between many cultures, which is required for the globalization of the business.
