IHEA holds annual training seminars on Safety Standards and Codes, Combustion Technology and Infrared Process Heating at various times during the year. Also, in a partnership with the DOE, IHEA sponsors PHAST Training Seminars. Conducted by experts in the field, these sessions bring the latest information to end-users, provide question and answer time, and allow time for colleagues to network and share information.

On-Line Distance Learning Courses in Industrial Process Heating are also offered by IHEA, in conjunction with the Emerging Technologies Applications Center of Northampton Community College. Courses on Advanced Industrial Process Heating and Fundamentals of Industrial Process Heating are available on-line in a flexible web-based distance-learning format. The course series offers an indispensable tool to industrial process heating operators and users of all types of industrial heating equipment.

Safety Standards & Codes Seminar

March 6 & 7, 2012
Hilton Garden Inn O'Hare

Des Plaines, IL

The Safety Standards & Codes Seminar for Industrial Furnaces and Ovens provides a complete review of NFPA 86: Ovens and Furnaces. This seminar is designed for individuals involved in the design, manufacture or operation of industrial furnaces and ovens. Over the course of two days the seminar is intended to provide understanding of the NFPA 86 Safety Standards as they apply to industrial furnaces and ovens and heating systems used for processing materials and products. Seminar speakers have a firsthand working knowledge in the development of the NFPA 86 Standards, either serving on the NFPA Technical Committee on Ovens and Furnaces or involved with IHEA in the review of standard changes.

Combustion Seminar
Fall 2012 Location & Dates to be Determined

The IHEA Combustion Seminar is a two-day event consisting of sixteen sessions that discuss topics such as Air-Gas Premixing, Applications, Burners, Controls, Flame Supervision, Gas Flow Measurement, Metering, NOX and more. The IHEA Combustion Seminar is designed for persons responsible for the operation, design, selection and/or maintenance of fuel-fired industrial process furnace and ovens. This seminar is consistently highly rated by attendees. From 2010 attendee, Larry Kennedy with Alabama Power Company - "This being my first IHEA Seminar, I was impressed with the location, food & especially the speakers. Each topic of discussion provided an insight to the chemistry and efficiency of combustion - definitely a learning experience. Thank you for providing a first class tutorial." A tabletop exhibition and reception is held on Monday evening. The tabletop exhibition offers attendees the opportunity to speak with company representatives and learn more about the products and services discussed in their classroom environment throughout the day.

IRED's Webinar

Infrared Applications in the Real World

IHEA's Infrared division hosted an Infrared Webinar in March 2011 in conjunction with Process Heating magazine. During the webinar information was provided on how infrared technology can improve your application. Attendees were able to ask questions of the experts and hear their answers live.

The 1-hour non-commercial webinar focused on electric and gas infrared applications and helping end users understand infrared essentials such as:

What infrared is.
How infrared works.
How infrared can improve your heat processing application.
How to add infrared to an existing production line.
Typical electric and gas infrared applications.
