Fired Heater Risk Evaluation

Fired Heater Risk Evaluation

Fired heaters are unique in that reliable operation requires input from a variety of disciplines, and they do not fit neatly into standard refinery programs such as RBI. To fill this gap, Becht developed FHRisk to assess the risks of fired heaters and to help identify and prioritize mitigation actions. The tool can be used to prioritize activities on a single heater, or a fleet of heaters across multiple sites.

FHRisk considers the following as part of the risk assessment:

  • Administrative (programmatic) factors
  • Design mitigating factors
  • Consequences of tube failures
  • Corrosion and metallurgical damage mechanisms
  • Operator instructions
  • Control systems
