Training

Objective

BD Energy Systems’ advanced training course is directed toward improving the level of understanding among plant management, engineers, operators, maintenance, and HSE personnel. This course will assist all attendees to apply more effectively the knowledge gained from this course to make better decisions on how to manage specific operating and maintenance issues that plant personnel face on a daily basis, how to coordinate their efforts to achieve the best long-term performance, and to identify opportunities for improvement.

Target Group

Plant Management, Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, and Health, Safety & Environmental personnel in Ammonia, Methanol, Hydrogen, GTL, and Ore Reduction plants that require Steam Reformer furnaces for generation of hydrogen, synthesis gas, or reducing gas.

In This Course

The course starts with the basic fundamentals of Steam Reformer design and includes an overview of the historical evolution of various reformer designs and the impact of operating parameters on Steam Reformer reliability. The course progresses to an interactive discussion during which operating and maintenance issues will be introduced and comments from attendees will be addressed in a problem-solution format. BD Energy Systems instructors will also include an expert group of key-component suppliers of equipment and services for Steam Reformers during the interactive session to provide thorough analysis and discussion of each topic.
