TEMA Types, API 660, Materials, Corrosion, Procurement & Real Case Studies from O&G Practice
What you'll learn
Master STHE thermal fundamentals - overall heat transfer coefficient, LMTD, fouling resistance, and temperature profiles
Identify every major STHE component - shells, nozzles, baffles, floating heads, and tube-to-tubesheet joints
Read and write the TEMA three-letter type code and select the correct front end, shell type, and rear end for any O&G duty
Differentiate TEMA Classes R, C, and B and understand what changes in design requirements, tolerances, and construction quality
Apply API 660 in procurement and specification - distinguishing mandatory from supplementary requirements and resolving TEMA conflicts
Select STHE materials for O&G service - carbon steel, Cr-Mo, 316L, duplex, super duplex, titanium, Inconel - and apply NACE MR0175
Identify key STHE corrosion mechanisms - SSC, HIC, chloride SCC, pitting, crevice, erosion-corrosion - and how each is mitigated
Complete a STHE datasheet, evaluate a vendor bid on technical criteria, and understand the API 660 vendor document register
Diagnose in-service STHE problems using plant data, track fouling, and select the correct cleaning method for each fouling type
Interpret API 510 and API 579 inspection findings and make evidence-based decisions on whether to repair, rerate, or retire
Requirements
A basic understanding of process engineering - familiarity with P&IDs, process flow diagrams, and how plant units are structured is assumed throughout
Fundamental thermodynamics awareness - you do not need to be a heat transfer engineer, but understanding that heat flows from hot to cold and that temperature difference drives heat transfer is helpful
No prior STHE experience is required - the course starts from first principles and builds systematically through to advanced procurement and in-service topics
No specific software tools are needed - this is a conceptual and applied engineering course, not a thermal design software tutorial
Engineers at any career stage can benefit: early-career engineers building their foundation, mid-career engineers formalising practical knowledge, and senior engineers refreshing and structuring their expertise
Description
Shell and tube heat exchangers are the workhorses of every oil and gas plant. They sit in crude preheat trains, amine reboilers, gas coolers, overhead condensers, and lube oil systems - and when they fail or underperform, entire units suffer. Yet most engineers working with STHEs have never been taught the full picture: from how heat actually moves, through TEMA type selection, materials and corrosion, procurement and specification, to what goes wrong in service and why.
This course fills that gap.
Across seven focused sections and approximately eight hours of instruction, you will build a systematic understanding of every aspect of STHE engineering relevant to oil and gas practice. You will start with the thermal fundamentals - the overall heat transfer coefficient, LMTD, and why counter-current flow is preferred - before moving into a component-by-component anatomy of the exchanger itself: shells, tubes, baffles, tubesheets, and floating head configurations explained clearly with real drawings.
The TEMA section is the core. You will learn to read and write the three-letter TEMA type code fluently, understand every front end, shell type, and rear end option, and know when to specify TEMA Class R, B, or C. The API 660 section explains what the petroleum standard adds beyond TEMA and how to navigate the mandatory versus supplementary requirements that engineers commonly invoke.
Materials and corrosion covers the decisions that matter most in aggressive O&G service: sour service compliance with NACE MR0175, sulphide stress cracking and hydrogen-induced cracking, chloride SCC in stainless steel, and how to select from carbon steel, duplex, super duplex, titanium, and high-alloy materials for each application. Design pressure, MDMT, ASME Section VIII, and the U-stamp are explained for engineers who need to review and challenge vendor documentation rather than just accept it.
Specification and procurement covers the full journey from process duty to purchase order: datasheet completion, what API 660 requires from vendors, how to evaluate a technical bid, and what the fabrication sequence looks like from material receipt to final pressure test.
The final two sections focus on in-service reality: how fouling develops and how to track it using plant data; flow-induced vibration and acoustic resonance as failure mechanisms; inspection methods including eddy current, IRIS, and API 510 intervals; fitness for service assessment under API 579; and four detailed case studies covering SSC tube failure in an amine reboiler, asphaltene fouling in a crude preheat train, vibration-induced fatigue in a gas cooler, and chloride SCC in a seawater cooler.
Each case study follows the same structure: plant context, what failed, how it was investigated, what the root cause was, and what engineering decision changed as a result. These are the lessons that stay with you.
Built by a practising engineer with over 15 years delivering safety-critical projects across oil, gas, and energy infrastructure. If you review datasheets, write purchase specifications, evaluate vendor bids, or troubleshoot exchangers in service, this course gives you the structured technical foundation to do it with confidence.
Who this course is for
Process engineers who specify STHE duties and need to understand how their process conditions translate into mechanical design requirements and vendor deliverables
Mechanical engineers and equipment engineers responsible for STHE specification, procurement, inspection, and fitness for service assessment
Project engineers and EPC project team members who review vendor documentation, technical bid evaluations, and fabrication hold points
Inspection engineers and integrity engineers applying API 510 and API 579 to in-service STHEs and making decisions on tube plugging, cleaning, and equipment life
Operations engineers and plant engineers responsible for monitoring exchanger performance, diagnosing fouling, and planning maintenance interventions
Early-career engineers in oil and gas, refining, gas processing, LNG, or petrochemicals who want a structured, practical foundation in STHE engineering they can apply immediately
