The Complete Program on Boiler & Steam System Operations



Introduction:


This course was designed to take the mystery out of wondering if your boiler is safe and operating efficiently, and provides maintenance technicians and others the confidence and comfort level needed for operating and maintaining their boilers.  For the novice technician needing a well-rounded education and the experienced stationary engineer who needs a refresher course for continuing education, this training program provides a no-nonsense, practical and real world approach for boiler operation, maintenance and safety.  Overall, this program is designed to extend boiler life, improve boiler efficiency, and save energy costs for the employer, while establishing a culture of safe work practices among the employees.

 

This course is designed to provide up to date operation and maintenance strategies of industrial boilers and steam turbines. This course entails a study of steam and thermal laws applied to industrial processes followed by an illustration of the design, operation and maintenance of steam turbines and plants, and their related aspects. The aim is to provide a satisfactory approach to the problems posed by steam turbines and the means to solve them. Highlights of the course include:

 

  • Identify and specify new steam turbine plant
  • Understanding of proper operation and monitoring techniques as applied to steam turbines
  • Ability to put in place measures to quantify equipment condition

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Operate, maintain and troubleshoot boiler, steam turbine and steam system in a professional manner
  • Recognize boiler and boiler systems as well as burner, super heater and reheaters
  • Discuss boiler instrumentation and controls
  • Employ boiler startup and shutdown including boiler operation and steam system management
  • Review the fundamentals of the steam turbine covering turbine sections and component descriptions
