Webster Combustion has announced that dates have been set for their 2015 Combustion College. The JB or beginner class is on April 13th, 14th and 1/2 day on the 15th. Webster will cover combustion, burner set-up, linkage controls and troubleshooting control panels.

The HD or advanced school is on April 16th, 17th and 1/2 day on the 18th. Webster will cover low NOx applications, linkageless controls, high turndown and larger burners. Webster expects attendees to have already had some start-up experience before attending this advanced class. Both schools are a combination of class room and lab work.

Classes will be offered with Autoflame, Siemens, Honeywell, and Fireye. These classes will be held on April the 17th. The classes will be two hours in the morning, 1 hr in the afternoon. For HD applicants, please designate on your application morning and afternoon choices for these classes.

The cost of each training class is $1100 for a single room, and $1000 (each) for a double room. This will include the 2-1/2 days of Service School, hotel, and all meals. Webster will provide transportation to and from the Wichita Airport to the hotel and factory.

The week following Webster Service School, Siemens will conduct a service school there. Date and times are all day April 20th and 1/2 day the 21st. This training is being offered to Start-up and Operations people and is being instructed by the Siemens Service Group.

For people enrolled in Webster Service School the Siemens class is free with the exception of your hotel and meals.

For Non-Webster School Enrollees the price is $150 for the complete class plus hotel and meals.

Webster will provide transportation to and from the Wichita Airport.

Up to 300 PSI ASME Design Ð GEA’•S NEW NW350 WIDE GAP PLATE features wider channels and fewer metal-to-metal contact points than standard gap plates allowing for easy passage of media containing solids and fibers with the ability to handle high pressures. Ideally suited for fibrous media or any liquids with a large amount of particulate.

This new plate design features the highest pressure rating for all Wide Gap or Free Flow plate heat exchangers on the market today. The NW350 Wide Gap Plate offers a large port size and the embossing pattern allows for higher turbulence, enhancing efficiency and run time. This plate is perfectly suited for Renewable Energy, Biofuel, Sugar, Pulp and Paper applications.

Fluid Engineering has added a new design to its product

line. The Model 545 is an in-line duplex liquid

strainer (patent pending) to improve the liquid flow

and save cost in the piping process.

Both sides of the duplex are designed for 100%

process flow and new geometry offers a lower

differential pressure, measured from the inlet flange

to outlet flange. This allows operators to transfer the

flow to the other side of the unit to clean the filter

basket when high differential pressure is observed.

The 545 is also available in an automated design: One side is in process and when the differential

pressure reaches a set point, it sends a signal to the control panel which in turn signals the clean side

valves to open. Once the clean side is open the dirty side valves close and a drain valve opens. At

this point the control panel will send a signal to the main control system alerting the operator that

maintenance is needed to clean the filter basket. If there is no main control panel, the operating

panel can be fitted with either a flashing light or siren. Once maintenance has been performed on

the basket and the closure tightened, a push button on the panel resets all of the functions and the

panel is set for the next high differential pressure.
