Safety Standards Seminar for Industrial Furnaces & Ovens

May 5 - 6, 2008                                               

    Hilton Indianapolis

    Indianapolis, IN                                  

                                          

Introduction

Explosions and fires in industrial heating systems can result in injury or loss of life, and loss of property and production. Understanding the proper use of National Standards governing the compliant design and operation of Ovens and Furnaces is essential for everyone involved with this type of equipment.

What Will Be Presented
The two day program reviews the NFPA 86 - 2007: Standard for Ovens & Furnaces and will highlight the technical changes and clarification in the newest edition of the standard.  The seminar will also include information on:

  • Introduction to the NFPA 86 Standard
  • Location and Construction
  • Furnace Heating Systems
  • Commissioning, Operations, Maintenance, Inspection and Testing
  • Safety Equipment and Application, including:
    • Programmable Logic Systems
    • Burner Management Systems, Safety Controls and Devices
    • Safety Shutoff Valves
  • Applications
    • Thermal Oxidizers 
    • Class A (flammable volatiles or combustible materials) Furnaces
    • Class B (no flammable volatiles or combustible materials) Furnaces
    • Class C (special atmospheres) Furnaces
    • Class D (vacuum) Furnaces
  • Loss Prevention
  • Product Liability

Who Should Attend
This seminar is designed for individuals involved in the design, manufacture, service or operation of ovens, furnaces, kilns, dryers, thermal oxidizers and a wide range of industrial applications.
