The basic function of the Fired Equipment Specialist is to provide the expert technical support in the area of combustion and fired equipment, ensure the optimization and coordinate the technical follow-up of the combustion equipment, and contribute to the continuous improvement of energy efficiency of the Refinery, and to the achievement of a high level of safety and reliability of fired equipment. It also serves as the single point contact regarding fired equipment to other departments of the Refinery, other entities of the Group or to outside companies.

Provides technical assistance in order to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the fired equipment of the refinery (Heaters, Boilers, Flares) and to improve their global efficiency. Ensures the optimization of the combustion equipment. Participates in the monitoring of the equipment of combustion and advises for in the preparation of maintenance prior and during turn-around.
 * Number of fired equipment of the refinery = 50
 * 1% improvement of Fuel Gas consumption = about 1 M$/year

Interfaces with various groups in the refinery such as Operations, Maintenance, Inspection, Process Support Groups, and Turnaround Team. 
 * Outside interfaces with TotalEnergies Industrial Division, contractors, engineering companies, suppliers, manufacturers
