Why Choose Us

The TEMA Heat Exchangers and Advanced Technologies training course equips engineers to optimise heat exchanger design, sizing, operation and maintenance across process industries. These assets directly influence plant efficiency, reliability and operating costs. Engineers therefore need to select appropriate configurations and implement effective maintenance strategies. These practices are essential for sustaining long-term performance.

The course examines thermal design principles, TEMA standards, API 660 requirements, fouling mitigation, mechanical integrity and advanced heat exchanger technologies. Participants learn to assess design options, enhance thermal efficiency and reduce operational risks while making informed CAPEX and OPEX decisions. Practical engineering examples and industrial case studies connect technical concepts with operational challenges. Interactive discussions develop delegates’ ability to troubleshoot performance problems, strengthen equipment reliability and extend the service life of critical heat exchanger systems.

This TEMA Heat Exchangers and Advanced Technologies training course will highlight:

  • Applying thermal design principles to heat exchanger sizing and performance
  • Interpreting TEMA standards and API 660 requirements
  • Evaluating heat exchanger configurations and design options
  • Mitigating fouling and maintaining mechanical integrity
  • Improving thermal efficiency while reducing operational risks
