This fall, the Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA) will offer its Combustion Seminar and Safety Standards and Codes Seminar in Indianapolis, Indiana, October 3-4, 2022.
“The IHEA seminars provide fantastic educational opportunities both in the combustion field and industry safety standards and codes,” said IHEA’s education committee chairman, Brian Kelly of Honeywell Thermal Solutions. “IHEA’s Combustion Seminar offers essential education on basic, as well as advanced, combustion subjects and the IHEA Safety Standards and Codes Seminar provides the latest updates on the NFPA 86 Standard and other safety related topics that are unique in the industrial heating market.”
The concurrent technical seminars will be Monday and Tuesday, October 3-4, at the Indiana Convention Center in conjunction with the Metal Treating Institute’s (MTI) Furnaces North America (FNA). The schedule provides attendees the benefit of expanding their
technical knowledge and allows time to visit with FNA exhibitors, including IHEA members and companies represented by IHEA seminar speakers.
For over half a century, the Combustion Division of IHEA has delivered quality education for those in the thermal heat processing industry. IHEA’s Combustion Seminar will provide attendees with 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. Seminar speakers are industry leaders in combustion and members of IHEA. Attendees will receive 15 Professional Development Hours upon completion of the two-day event.
