Cross-Reference to Fired Heater Training Curriculum
IPE-TM-200 memos supplement the existing Fired_Heater_Training_Curriculum_v1.xlsx. Specifically: 200-02 feeds Module 4 (Combustion), 200-01 feeds Module 9 (Burner Management), 200-04 feeds Module 6 (Tubes and Materials), 200-03 feeds Module 10 (Revamp Studies), 200-05 feeds Module 1 (Design Basis). Supplementary Figures 1-7 in 200-02 provide Btu/scf reference data useful for any heater sizing.
