All interested engineers and operations personnel are invited to attend our Process Fired Heater School. THI presents this 2-day technical seminar each fall or other times as customer needs dictate.
The THI Heater School is a unique blend of actual fired heater process and mechanical design course material with discussions of heater operational concerns. The two days include 12 hours of class time and 4 hours of shop visits to Tulsa area subcontractors who are involved in heater or heater component manufacturing. We also include all meals, local transportation and a special opportunity to taste local culture at the Woolaroc Museum, see Native American dancers, and dine at the historic Frank Phillips hunting lodge.
Class enrollment is first-come, first-serve, with a minimum of 15 and maximum of 32 attendees per school.
This seminar will be very informative and beneficial to your evaluations of current and future fired heater projects. The class is provided without charge to accepted registrants, and your company need only authorize the costs of your transportation and lodging.
THI will take all attendees to dinner at a local restaurant. We will meet in the lobby of the Hotel Ambassador (or other directed location) at 6:30 pm and leave at 6:45 pm. We will be back at the hotel about 9:00 p.m.
