Facilitator:
Dean Roberts, Ergon Refining, Inc.

Speaker:
Andrew Craig, Great Southern Technologies

In this session, GST’s will show how they worked with Ergon in order to avoid some of the pitfalls encountered while designing or troubleshooting new or existing fired heaters. The session will provide means to increase operability and reliability of fired heater systems. GST will also present their patented innovative technology that creates flameless combustion at radiant flux rates and flue gas temperatures common to refinery process heaters. GST’s new technology also meets the industry's stringent requirements for environmental, safety, reliability, operability, and maintainability. This session will also present the benefits of having cooler and more controlled combustion and offer technological solutions, thus providing a peak into GST’s most recent advancements in heater technology. Their latest advancements affords a much improved controllability for units that require a large range of operation.
