If you've taken our Fundamentals course, or you already have a basic knowledge of industrial heat processes, expand your skill set with this 10-week self-paced course. Topics covered include: ✅ Types of ovens, furnaces, and kilns ✅ Refractories and insulation ✅ Energy savings associated with the use of recuperators and regenerators ✅ Instrumentation and controls used in process heating equipment ✅ Gas atmospheres used in process heating ✅ Mechanisms, metallurgical aspects, testing and evaluation associated with quenching. ✅ Vacuum heat processing Group discounts are available for companies registering multiple students at the same time. Space is limited, so don't wait to sign up!

Do you have new hires who need an introduction to the basics of industrial process heating? Our Fundamentals of Industrial Process Heating online course is your best resource! Weekly reading assignments, quizzes, and interactive forum discussions, along with a final exam project, are designed to give the student a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of heat transfer within an industrial furnace and the associated losses. Topics covered include: Combustion Fundamentals & Fuels Combustion Equipment for Gaseous and Liquid Fuels Elements of Heat Transmission Heat Balance and Efficiency Calculations Advanced Heat Transfer Principles Fundamentals of Electrical Heating A group discount is available for companies registering multiple students at the same time. Space is limited, so register now for the next course, beginning January 13!

The latest digital issue of the IHEA Insider is now available! Find recaps of the first Industrial Heating Decarbonization SUMMIT and our Fall Seminars, read about our upcoming online courses and the return of our Sustainability & Decarbonization Webinar Series and more.

After a short holiday hiatus, our Sustainability & Decarbonization Webinar Series returns January 16! Join Bryan Stern of Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems for a look at a case study comparing the energy consumption, operating cost, and emissions between a gas-fired atmosphere integral oil quench furnace and an electric batch vacuum oil quenching furnace performing metal heat treating. This webinar is free to attend, so don't miss out!

Start 2025 off right by getting the industrial process heating education you and your employees need! Both our Fundamentals of Industrial Process Heating online course and our brand new Advanced Industrial Process Heating online course begin January 13! Both courses include weekly assignments & quizzes, along with interactive forum discussions with other students & instructors. Special member-only pricing is available to IHEA members, and companies registering multiple students at the same time receive a group discount. Space is limited for both courses, so don't wait.

Thank you to everyone who made our first Industrial Heating Decarbonization SUMMIT a success! With a lot of collaborative discussion and new connections, this event was a big step forward in the decarbonization conversation. Become an IHEA member and follow us here to be the first to learn about future sustainability initiatives and events!

We’re closing out the Industrial Heating Decarbonization SUMMIT with a panel discussion on real world implementation of decarbonization strategies with panelists from John Deere, Nucor Corporation, GTI Energy and Surface Combustion, Inc.

This afternoon at the Industrial Heating Decarbonization SUMMIT has focused on industry adoption of decarbonization initiatives, including economic & business concerns, grants and funding sources, the effects on codes and standards, and the risk of doing nothing.

This morning we’re getting a global perspective on decarbonization with a look at efforts in Europe and Japan, along with available options to reach net-zero.

Day 2 of the Industrial Heating Decarbonization SUMMIT is underway in Indianapolis!
