When the 2011 edition of the industrial ovens safety standard NFPA 86 was released, safety programmable logic controllers (PLCs) were recognized as logic devices suitable for the safe operation of industrial heating equipment for the first time.

The Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA) brings industrial process-heating professionals together to provide combustion and safety education for the industry each and every fall. This year will look different, but IHEA will still deliver essential content through a virtual platform. The IHEA Virtual Fall Seminars will be held over two consecutive weeks in November from Wednesday to Friday each week. Each day will consist of three presentations from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (EST). The agendas for the virtual seminars contain vital topics that have been adapted to online versions so attendees can still get the information they need whether they are working from home or in the office. 

IHEA strives to provide a base of industry knowledge for our members and users in the industrial process-heating industry.

If combustion and its related efficiencies were not challenging for us, we and others would not dedicate so many new resources to the topic. This article will point out some of these available resources, including the pages of Industrial Heating.

Valve safety trains regulate the flow and pressure of fuel. In doing so, they keep the fuel delivery consistent with the requirements of the process.

Sprint Pro is made from an impact resistant polycarbonate which can withstand the most challenging environments.

This article discusses different types of direct-fired gas burners that can be used for high-temperature applications.

At this time last year, we saw a natural gas market emerge from the winter demand season in a volatile state.

The Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA) announced that the 2019 Fall Seminars and Fall Business Conference will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 24-26. The technical seminar series will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by the Fall Business Conference on Thursday at the Intercontinental Cleveland. The Combustion Seminar and the Safety Standards and Codes Seminar will take place concurrently over both days. There will also be two separate one-day seminars on infrared heating and induction technology. Attendees of all four seminars will enjoy access to IHEA’s tabletop exhibition and reception on the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 24.

To continue a trend we started in 2017, Industrial Heating will highlight a topic on our website and list the most-popular articles under that topic according to page views.
