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.

Process Heating Publications
PHAST 3.0 Tool - The Process Heating Assessment and Survey Tool (PHAST) introduces methods to improve thermal efficiency of heating equipment. This tool helps industrial users survey process heating equipment that consumes fuel, steam, or electricity, and identifies the most energy-intensive equipment. The tool can be used to perform a heat balance that identifies major areas of energy use under various operating conditions and test "what-if" scenarios for various options to reduce energy use.
