Boiler Control, Safety & Instrumentation

 

Introduction:

This course introduces the basic practices of controls systems and safety controls for industrial steam generating boilers. It focuses on the control and safety requirements applicable to most types of boilers from small gas-fired units to large multi-fuel installations. It will provide training in how control and instrumentation is designed to manage the main variables such as drum water level, furnace draft, combustion fuel and air conditions. Burner management systems are introduced with their principal features including flame safety systems. The essential safety requirements for boilers and burners are identified and the corresponding safety interlocks are explained as practical solutions in accordance with the latest safety standards.

Course Objectives:

 

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

  • The key features of basic boiler control loops & systems
  • Boiler combustion control
  • How o optimize combustion efficiency for burning liquid, gaseous, solid or pulversied fuels
  • Boiler feed water control
  • Steam demand & firing control
  • Main steam & reheat steam temperature control
  • Importance of boiler & unit interlocks
  • Boiler draft systems & controls
  • Flue gas analysis & fuel combustion trimming controls
  • Artificial intelligence

Who Should Attend?

Boiler plant commissioning engineers, consulting engineers, control system engineers, design engineers, instrumentation engineers and technicians, mechanical engineers and technicians, operation, maintenance, inspection and repair specialists, senior boiler plant operators, repairers and installers
