Xist Workshop (US$450)
Instructors: Samuel Bajomo and Sean Hennigan
This workshop is devoted to the shell-and-tube exchanger geometries handled only by Xist. The course focuses on the extensive options available in Xist and how you can use these methods effectively to solve several example problems. You will leave the class knowing how to take full advantage of the features this robust tool offers.
Key Topics
- Overview of Xist interface and the benefits of HTRI methods
- Process specifications rules for rating, simulation, and design
- Guidelines for specifying fluid properties
- Description of Xist geometry input parameters and their defaults
- Interpretation of Xist outputs for validation of unit performance
Suggested Participants
Designers of shell-and-tube heat exchangers and process engineers who evaluate their performance
HTRI Software
This course will make use of the following HTRI software: Xchanger Suite® component Xist®. All training materials are based on the current software version.
Course Credits: 6 hours (PDH/CEU)

Xvib Workshop (US$450)
Instructors: Samuel Bajomo and Sean Hennigan
Because vibration can cause critical operating problems in heat exchangers, it is important to analyze the potential for flow-induced vibration.
This workshop teaches you how to develop an input file, interpret results, and obtain accurate prediction of the vibration potential for installed units. Using Xvib you’ll practice determining if a heat exchanger is susceptible to vibration damage.
Key Topics
- Analysis methods for fluidelastic instability and vortex shedding
- Velocity profile development
- Vibration susceptibility
Suggested Participants
Engineers responsible for the mechanical condition of shell-and-tube heat exchangers
HTRI Software
This course will make use of the following HTRI software: Xchanger Suite® components Xist® and Xvib®. All training materials are based on the current software version.
Course Credits: 6 hours (PDH/CEU)

Xace Workshop (US$450)
Instructors: Samuel Bajomo and Sean Hennigan
Do you design air-cooled heat exchangers? Evaluate their performance? Then this workshop is for you. Learn how to use Xace effectively to rate and design air-cooled heat exchangers, economizers, and air preheaters. All example problems and practice exercises relate to geometries handled only by Xace.
Key Topics
- Overview of Xace capabilities and applications
- Geometry inputs for air coolers and economizers
- Process specifications for rating, simulation, and design
- Guidelines for specifying fluid properties
- Introduction to HTRI analysis methods
Suggested Participants
Designers of air-cooled heat exchangers and process engineers who evaluate their performance

Senior Heat Transfer Specialist, Engineering Services, completed his BEng, MSc in Mechanical Engineering at University College London, London, United Kingdom (UK), majoring in Materials Science and Structural Mechanics. He began his career with MW Kellogg working on mechanical design of pressure vessels and heat exchangers and later transitioned into the heat transfer group as Principal Heat Transfer Engineer. In 2012 he moved to Wood Plc, London, UK where he oversaw the thermal and mechanical design of heat exchangers and fired equipment for several major oil and gas and petrochemical projects. His experience spans front-end engineering design (FEED), requisition, detailed engineering, and oversight of equipment manufacture. Bajomo then operated as an independent heat transfer consultant, working with equipment manufacturers and end-users on a wide variety of troubleshooting and design verification projects. His exchanger design and practical industry experience brings a uniquely qualified contractor’s perspective to HTRI’s Engineering Services team. Bajomo also currently serves on the board of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Pressure Systems Group, and is a CEng MIMechE.
Principal Engineer, Engineering Services, holds BEng and MEng degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bradford (UK), including internships in France from 1988 – 1990. He has spent 33 years at the Saltend chemicals manufacturing site in Hull, working first for BP Chemicals and since 2021 for INEOS Acetyls. His global support work spans modeling, analysis, design, operations, turnarounds, commissioning, troubleshooting, technology development, intellectual property, and training. In 2008 he became BP Chemicals’ Separations and Heat Transfer Advisor, specializing in ASPEN simulation and Xchanger Suite®, delivering thermal design and troubleshooting for hundreds of heat transfer applications. At INEOS, his role expanded to Process Engineering Advisor, adding CFD and reliability analysis. He joined HTRI in 2026. Hennigan has been a chartered engineer since 1998 and an IChemE Fellow since 2015.
