To understand how operational, control and maintenance changes can reduce and control fuel costs and emissions, one has to understand the basics of steam generation and boiler design. Applying this knowledge to your operating plant can result in significant fuel savings, reduced maintenance costs, and help minimize the impact your operation has on the environment. Operators who have a solid understanding of boiler systems and their background will be better equipped to make the right decisions on operating issues encountered on a day to day basis. Maintenance workers who fully understand the function and duty of the components they work on will be able to ensure that repairs are suitable for the operating environment. Finally, Managers who possess knowledge of the fundamentals of the systems will make better decisions related to operation, maintenance and environmental issues.
This course is designed to provide the attendants with basic and deeper knowledge of boilers and their operation, control, maintenance and steam generation system. Specifically, the attendants will have better understanding of different boiler related topics including: combustion, fuels,efficiency, flue gas, boiler water issues, boiler operations and safety, boiler maintenance, inspection and failures.
Basically, operators, maintenance personnel, and managers who are involved with boilers. In addition, the course is highly useful to heads of maintenance, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, process engineers, equipment specialists, technical engineers, thermal engineers, design and planning engineers.
