IHEA takes educating the industrial heating industry very seriously.
“We know how valuable the information we share with the industry is to ensure that furnaces and ovens are operated in a safe environment,” said Anne Goyer, IHEA’s executive vice president.
This fall, in conjunction with Furnaces North America, IHEA will offer its three popular training seminars that provide critical and current information to attendees to help them better manage their industrial heating operations.
IHEA will offer three concurrent technical seminars in conjunction with the Metal Treating Institute’s (MTI) Furnaces North America (FNA) in Indianapolis, Indiana, October 8-10. This will be the perfect opportunity for manufacturers to expand their technical knowledge as well as spend time on the FNA exhibit floor.
IHEA will conduct its Combustion Seminar, Safety Standards and Codes Seminar, and Induction Seminar throughout the week. The Combustion Seminar and the Safety Standards & Codes Seminar will be all day Monday, October 8, and on the mornings of Tuesday, October 9, and Wednesday, October 10, at the Indiana Convention Center. The Induction Seminar will be Tuesday morning, October 9. This seminar schedule is set up perfectly to allow attendees full access to the FNA expo.
IHEA’s 49th Combustion Seminar will provide attendees updated and relevant information from experts in combustion technologies. The seminar is designed for those responsible for the operation, design, selection, and/or maintenance of fuel-fired industrial process furnaces and ovens.
