The IHEA and the DOE have worked together to produce a valuable sourcebook for the Process Heating Industry. Newly available in the second version, the sourcebook is available on-line and it is free! Click here to download and view Improving Process Heating Performance, A Sourcebook for Industry, 2nd Edition.

The IHEA and the U.S. Department of Energy co-sponsored a workshop that brought together a broad range of process heating manufacturers and end-user companies. Their report, which summarizes the insights of 35 workshop participants and sets forth the goals for improving industrial process heating performance, is now available: Roadmap for Process Heating Technology: Priority Research & Development Goals and Near-Term Non-Research Goals To Improve Industrial Process Heating

The U.S. Department of Energy, partnered with IHEA and numerous associations and companies, has launched the Save Energy Now initiative to help plants find low-cost improvements to lower costs and save energy.

Process Heating Steering Committee

In view of the importance and potential contributions of industrial process heating (IPH) in achieving the national goals of improving the global competitiveness of the US industries, the Department of Energy – Office of Industrial Technologies (DOE-OIT) intends to encourage and support formation of a steering committee that represents the Industries of the Future (IOF) and process heating equipment and component suppliers. This steering committee is called the Process Heating Steering Committee. IHEA members are an integral part of this committee.

IHEA-DOE Industrial Heating Equipment of the Future Conference

In October 2004, The Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA), in collaboration with The U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Technologies Program (DOE-ITP) hosted the Industrial Heating Equipment of the Future Conference. The conference addressed issues related to industrial process heating equipment including furnaces, ovens, heaters, etc. used to supply heat to the materials during manufacturing operations.

Primary objectives of the conference were to discuss the previously identified opportunities for energy savings, current status of industrial heating technologies and to analyze and identify various revolutionary technology options (new generation equipment/system designs, retrofits, etc.) which will result in substantial decreases in energy intensity in various industrial processes, in the near, mid and long term.
