      Industrial Combustion training 25th-26th November 2026

The IFRF is pleased to announce the next Industrial Combustion training session. The focus for the training will be on modelling, from 0D modelling, 3D CFD to high-fidelity simulations, and will include hands-on a lab scale hydrogen/natural gas burner and a 500 kW semi-industrial burner test furnace; with talks and discussion with a range of industrial combustion experts. For full details, please see below.

Date: 25-26 November 2026
Location: Engie Lab Crigen, Stains (north of Paris), France
