Practical Boiler Plant Operation and Management for Engineers and Technicians (BL)
This intensive and highly practical workshop will give you the most up-to-date information and practical understanding of the installation, operation, maintenance and management of boiler plants. After this workshop you will be able to recognise and solve boiler problems simply and with confidence.
At the end of this workshop participants will be able to:
- identify the various types of boilers
- use essential terms and understand their key applications
- describe the typical characteristics of fuels fired
- perform basic combustion and process calculations
- recognise the impact fuels have on the boiler heat transfer surfaces
- describe the ancillary equipment associated with steam boiler plants and their integral role in the safety of the boiler
- discuss the correct operation, control sequences and procedures for the safe operation of a typical fire-tube boiler plant
- outline the applicable pressure part design codes and explain their influence on boiler pressure parts sizing, inspection and non-destructive examination
- initiate an effective inspection and maintenance program
- minimise forced outages and prevent serious damage to boiler equipment
- provide an overview of the legislative requirements plus the essential steps and responsibilities for the repair of boilers
- recognise the importance of and implement the procedures for the protection of a boiler during cold storage
- outline the technologies available for the reduction of emission levels and the applicable international legislative controls
