Upcoming Events
HTRI invites you to join us at the HTRI Global Headquarters in Navasota, Texas, USA, a short drive away from Houston, Texas. Take advantage of this hands-on opportunity to improve your understanding of HTRI software by enrolling in the following courses -
- Xist Workshop
- Heat Exchanger Design & Costing Short Course
- Thermosiphon Reboilers Short Course
Fixed tubesheet heat exchangers are often designed with expansion joints to handle the differential thermal growth between the tubes and the shell. Learn how to use Exchanger Optimizer 3 to
• specify operating metal temperatures and evaluate the cost impact of adding a flanged and flued or bellows expansion joint
• modify designs to eliminate the need for expansion joints, resulting in more economical configurations
Temperature effectiveness is the change in process fluid stream temperature divided by the difference between the hottest and coldest temperatures in the exchanger. If the required effectiveness is greater than 0.8, non-ideal fabrication or variable process conditions can significantly reduce performance of many exchanger types (shell-and-tube, plate-frame, plate-fin, etc.). Learn about applications where high effectiveness is expected, the factors which degrade effectiveness, and what a designer can do to ensure adequate performance.
HTRI will be exhibiting at ACHEMA, the World Forum and Leading Show for the Process Industries. Visit us at Stand A62 in Hall 4, Thermal Processes Exhibition Group.
HTRI invites you to a three-day training event in Chiba. From June 26 - 28, 2018 at the World Business Garden for the following workshops, presented in Japanese:
- Xace
- Xist
- Heat Exchanger Troubleshooting
We encourage you to register as soon as possible! Take advantage of this hands-on opportunity to improve your understanding of HTRI software. The training will be conducted using Xchanger Suite 7.3.
Attendees will gather in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA this September 17-18, for HTRI’s 2018 Global Conference & Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Situated in the heart of Milwaukee’s exclusive East Side, The Pfister Hotel will host us for a full two-day agenda. Expect a schedule filled with a blend of formal/informal learning opportunities, expert discussions, and some hands-on training. In your spare time, visit the scenic shores of Lake Michigan just three blocks from the hotel where you can tour the beautiful Milwaukee Art Museum.
We're currently in the process of finalizing the schedule and topics for the technical program. Other elements to be expected this year include: panel sessions, roundtables, and training courses. More information will be available in the coming months, but go ahead and save the date! Mark it on your calendar today; conference registrations and hotel reservations available starting May 2018.
6th Opportunity Crudes Conference
The 6th Opportunity Crudes Conference addresses changes within the refining world under the theme Crude Disruptors: Accelerating Changes in Global Refining. Held in Houston, TX on October 22 - 24, 2018, attendees will learn how refiners can overcome current crude disruptors by devising better business strategies, finding ways to increase operational flexibility, and adopting new technologies to turn challenges into opportunities.
Dr. Aaron Smith, HTRI Group Lead for Fouling, will present the Benefits of Fouling Testing in Session 3: Crude contaminants, incompatibility, and blending strategies amid changing feedstocks.
